Forest degradation (continued)
"Anthropogenic disturbances cause degradation of the remaining Amazon forest and threaten their future. Among such disturbances, the most important are edge effects (due to deforestation and the resulting habitat fragmentation), timber extraction, fire, and extreme droughts that have been intensified by human-induced climate change."
Lapola et al. (2023). "The drivers and impacts of Amazon forest degradation" https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abp8622
Climate adaptation: Concrete and steel – or mangroves and forests?
Green infrastructure is cheaper and more adaptable than grey.
" Recognise green infrastructure as a capital asset in national planning frameworks, governed by the same mechanisms as grey assets.
Protect existing forests, mangroves and other green assets before new grey structures are built
Ensure the value of ecosystems is included in project appraisals by switching to an accounting method which puts a value on intact ecosystems
Ensure large development plans include both grey and green infrastructure designed for future climate scenarios. " >>

📰 NEW REFORESTATION HUB AVAILABLE
🌎 USA: The Nature Conservancy has developed a free online tool called the Reforestation Hub to help identify areas for reforestation that will be of highest value for climate change.
🌳 The interactive map helps locate mostly unused sites that can efficiently sequester carbon out of the atmosphere. For each county or site, the number of acres suitable for planting trees is displayed and how much CO2 the trees can extract from the atmosphere each year.
