Rainforests to the Rescue!

Type: Presentation

Description:
We need to act fast to fight climate change. Luckily, forests can be a natural climate solution while we work to end carbon emissions. Forests already do an incredible job slowing climate change, utilizing carbon dioxide gas responsible for warming for growing wood. The problem is that around the world we are clearing precious tropical forests for meager profits. If we can instead preserve and regrow rainforests, we can reduce climate change fast! This interactive presentation explores the rich value of tropical forests globally, and uncovers how lost forests can ‘live again’ to help save our climate.
