Why Reforestation?
Climate change is a threat to the well-being our global ecosystem and economy. Rising temperatures are leading us to significant climate change and rising sea levels. Global warming is occurring as we emit greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide) into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gasses act as an insulator in our atmosphere trapping solar radiation. Tropical reforestation is one of the most effective methods of sequestering carbon dioxide emissions. click here for more...
