Forests play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by acting as natural carbon sinks. Through photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their biomass and soil. This process, known as carbon sequestration, helps offset human-caused emissions. Mature forests can store massive amounts of carbon, with tropical rainforests being particularly effective. However, deforestation and forest degradation release stored carbon back into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Efforts to protect existing forests, promote reforestation, and implement sustainable forest management practices are essential in harnessing the full potential of forests as a nature-based solution to combat climate change and reduce net carbon emissions.
