Project Description

Trees are tall, woody plants with branches and leaves that absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and store it as carbon in their trunks, branches, and roots.

Connection to Climate Change: Trees are crucial for mitigating climate change. They act as carbon sinks, sequestering CO2 and reducing its concentration in the atmosphere. This helps combat global warming by reducing the greenhouse effect. Deforestation and forest degradation release stored carbon and contribute to climate change. Conserving and restoring forests is vital for climate resilience and carbon balance.
