New discoveries show that tree vapours cool the planet, and that protecting old-growth forests would be one of the best ways to counteract global heating.
Global deforestation costs far more than the current banking crisis (2008). Yet another sobering calculation exposing the lack of political will.
Global deforestation continues at an alarming rate. Reforestation with farmed seedlings does not make up for the rich eco systems of old-growth forests.
