Project Description

Forests, a vast areas of land covered primarily with trees, playing a critical role in mitigating climate change by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Forests also influence climate by regulating local temperatures, rainfall patterns, and supporting biodiversity.

Connection to Climate Change: Forests act as carbon sinks, sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to reduce greenhouse gas levels. However, deforestation and forest degradation release stored carbon, contributing to climate change. Protecting and restoring forests are essential strategies for mitigating global warming and adapting to its impacts.
