with inline styles. Need to preserve those exactly, only translate text inside. Let's translate paragraph by paragraph. First paragraph: "A study published in Nature on July 20 found that tree diversity in regenerated forests remains significantly lower than in old-growth forests even after 120 years of regrowth. The finding, based on decades of ecological data, challenges the assumption that reforestation projects can fully restore natural ecosystems within a human lifetime — and it has direct implications for the booming market in tokenized carbon credits." Translation: "Satu kajian yang diterbitkan dalam Nature pada 20 Julai mendapati bahawa kepelbagaian pokok di hutan regenerasi kekal jauh lebih rendah daripada hutan tua walaupun selepas 120 tahun pertumbuhan semula. Penemuan ini, berdasarkan data ekologi selama beberapa dekad, mencabar andaian bahawa projek penghutanan semula dapat memulihkan sepenuhnya ekosistem semula jadi dalam jangka hayat manusia — dan ia mempunyai implikasi langsung terhadap pasaran kredit karbon tokenisasi yang sedang berkembang pesat." Note: "regenerated forests" -> "hutan regenerasi" (or "hutan yang diregenerasi"? "hutan regenerasi" is fine). "old-growth forests" -> "hutan tua" (common term). "tokenized carbon credits" -> "kredit karbon tokenisasi". Second paragraph: "

A century of regrowth, still not enough

" -> "

Satu abad pertumbuhan semula, masih tidak mencukupi

" Then: "The research, led by an international team of ecologists, compared tree species richness in regenerated forests across the tropics with adjacent old-growth forests. Even after 120 years, the regenerated plots had fewer species, with the gap narrowing only slowly. The cause: rainforest clearing, which removes not just trees but the complex seed bank and soil biology needed for full recovery." Translation: "Penyelidikan yang diketuai oleh pasukan ekologi antarabangsa membandingkan kekayaan spesies pokok di hutan regenerasi di seluruh kawasan tropika dengan hutan tua yang bersebelahan. Walaupun selepas 120 tahun, plot regenerasi mempunyai lebih sedikit spesies, dengan jurang yang mengecil hanya perlahan. Puncanya: pembersihan hutan hujan, yang bukan sahaja menyingkirkan pokok tetapi juga bank benih kompleks dan biologi tanah yang diperlukan untuk pemulihan penuh." Next is the market snapshot div.

Then the grid items: "24h Change" -> "Perubahan 24j" (j for jam), "7d Change" -> "Perubahan 7h" (h for hari), "Fear & Greed" -> "Ketakutan & Ketamakan", "Sentiment" -> "Sentimen". The values like "-3.00%", "29 Fear", "🔴 slightly bearish" keep as is but translate "Fear" to "Ketakutan"? Actually the value "29 Fear" - in Malay it's "29 Ketakutan" but the original has "Fear" as a label. Better to keep the English "Fear" as it's a known index? But requirement says translate naturally. However "Fear & Greed Index" is often kept as is. I'll translate the label but keep the value "29" and then "Ketakutan" in parentheses? The original has "29 Fear". So we can translate the span text to "Ketakutan". Similarly "slightly bearish" -> "sedikit bearish" (bearish is common in Malay finance). Or "sedikit menurun". I'll use "sedikit bearish" as it's understood. Also the Bitcoin line: "Bitcoin (BTC):" -> "Bitcoin (BTC):" keep, "$63,296" keep, "Rank #1" -> "Kedudukan #1". Now next h2: "

Tokenized offsets under the microscope

" -> "

Ofset tokenisasi di bawah mikroskop

" (offsets as "ofset" is used in carbon context). Paragraph: "Many crypto projects, such as those built on Regen Network and Toucan Protocol, issue tokens backed by carbon credits from reforestation. These credits are often marketed as “green” investments that offset emissions while restoring nature. But the Nature study suggests the ecological value of such credits may be fundamentally overestimated. If regenerated forests lack the biodiversity of old-growth, the carbon storage and ecosystem services they provide are also diminished." Translation: "Banyak projek kripto, seperti yang dibina di atas Regen Network dan Toucan Protocol, mengeluarkan token yang disokong oleh kredit karbon daripada penghutanan semula. Kredit ini sering dipasarkan sebagai pelaburan “hijau” yang mengimbangi pelepasan sambil memulihkan alam semula jadi. Tetapi kajian Nature mencadangkan bahawa nilai ekologi kredit tersebut mungkin terlalu dianggarkan secara asas. Jika hutan regenerasi kekurangan biodiversiti hutan tua, penyimpanan karbon dan perkhidmatan ekosistem yang disediakan juga berkurangan." Next h2: "

The biodiversity discount no one priced in

" -> "

Diskaun biodiversiti yang tidak diambil kira oleh sesiapa

" (or "Diskaun biodiversiti yang tiada siapa harga"? Better: "Diskaun biodiversiti yang tidak dinilai oleh sesiapa" but "priced in" is financial term. Use "yang tidak diambil kira dalam harga"). Paragraph: "The 120-year recovery timeline is a direct counterargument to the fast-money narrative of crypto. While digital assets can be created instantly, natural capital restoration is measured in decades. This creates a hidden “biodiversity discount” for tokenized credits from regenerated forests. Investors who price carbon credits solely on short-term carbon metrics may be ignoring a century-scale liability. As the market matures, this discount could trigger a repricing event." Translation: "Garis masa pemulihan 120 tahun adalah hujah balas langsung kepada naratif wang cepat kripto. Walaupun aset digital boleh dicipta serta-merta, pemulihan modal semula jadi diukur dalam beberapa dekad. Ini mewujudkan “diskaun biodiversiti” tersembunyi untuk kredit tokenisasi daripada hutan regenerasi. Pelabur yang menetapkan harga kredit karbon semata-mata berdasarkan metrik karbon jangka pendek mungkin mengabaikan liabiliti skala abad. Apabila pasaran matang, diskaun ini boleh mencetuskan peristiwa penentuan harga semula." Next h2: "

Pelabur ESG mungkin mengambil perhatian

" Paragraph: "The study’s publication in a top-tier journal gives it high credibility. For institutional allocators weighing crypto’s environmental footprint against nature-based solutions, this research could tip the scales. It may accelerate the shift toward proof-of-stake chains and increase scrutiny on Bitcoin mining’s long-term sustainability. Regulators could cite the study to justify stricter disclosure requirements for carbon credit-backed tokens." Translation: "Penerbitan kajian dalam jurnal bertaraf tinggi memberikan kredibiliti yang tinggi. Bagi pengagih institusi yang menimbang jejak alam sekitar kripto berbanding penyelesaian berasaskan alam semula jadi, penyelidikan ini boleh mengubah keseimbangan. Ia mungkin mempercepatkan peralihan ke arah rantaian proof-of-stake dan meningkatkan penelitian terhadap kemampanan jangka panjang perlombongan Bitcoin. Pengawal selia boleh memetik kajian itu untuk mewajarkan keperluan pendedahan yang lebih ket
