Deforestation and Climate Change

Deforestation and Climate Change Lauren Bennett April 2017 1 The Climate Institute| Deforestation and Climate Change Forests play many important ecological roles. From helping to mitigate Climate Change ; providing homes for many species of plants and animals (some endemic to forested regions); providing food, medicine and livelihoods for people around the globe; to the intrinsic values of forests, these essential ecological powerhouses are irreplaceable and at risk. Forests cover 31% of our planet;1 the Amazon rainforest alone is home to hundreds of thousands of species of plants and Yet, despite everything forests do for the planet, they are being cut down at an alarming rate.

regenerative practices across both grasslands and arable acreage could sequester more than 100% of current anthropogenic emissions of CO 2 and that stable soil carbon can be built quickly enough to result in a rapid drawdown of atmospheric carbon dioxide. We now know enough to have real hope, and with this hope comes the responsibility to

Likewise, livestock holders who emit waste into waterways or release ammonia into the atmosphere should pay for the damage.
