"Now new research published today in Science estimates there's enough
suitable unused land on the globe for reforestation to store around 205
gigatonnes of carbon.
That's enough to buy us about 20 years in the fight against climate
change, according to researcher Jean-Francois Bastin from the Institute
of Integrative Biology in Zurich."
Everyone needs to start contributing to the cost of ecosystem services,
including paying for reforestation. And quickly, because trees may be
less effective at carbon uptake under higher temperatures.
