Trees are life!

Afforestation

There is mounting evidence that complex and old-growth forest ecosystems continue to sequester and store high amounts of carbon. Sustainable forest management can improve the climate-mitigation functions through the protection of remaining primary forests, by enhancing carbon stocks, and through afforestation and reforestation. Sustainably managed forests also have an important role to play in climate change adaptation.
