Without Tropical Forests, The World Would Be 1°c Warmer

#Research reveals the most comprehensive and detailed evidence to date that #forests are more important to the #climate (globally and locally) than we think due to the way in which they physically …

"The bottom line is that, globally, deforestation has gotten worse, not better, since the beginning of the decade.
We’re only six years away from a critical global deadline to end deforestation, and forests continue to be chopped down, degraded, and set ablaze at alarming rates,”
Ivan Palmegiani, consultant at the research group Climate Focus

The end of the great northern forests? The tiny tree-killing beetle wreaking havoc on our ancient giants

Forests across Europe, the US and Canada have been hard hit by drought, fires and bark beetles. Now scientists fear the northern hemisphere’s greatest carbon sink is nearing a tipping point

predicting that up to one million #animal and #plant species could soon be extinct.

Some #forests are already deemed “empty” in the wake of rampant #hunting and #poaching.

This problem goes beyond China and the current coronavirus pandemic and is driving the extinction of species in many countries, so we are calling for the worldwide closure of wildlife markets.

Please sign and share our petition and speak out against these barbaric markets.

Shut down wildlife markets NOW!

With their brisk trade in endangered and poached animals, wildlife markets in many countries are driving the extinction of species. The markets are also breeding grounds for diseases that can also be deadly to humans.

"Gone for good? California's beetle-killed, carbon-storing pine forests may not come back

Ponderosa pine forests in the Sierra Nevada that were wiped out by western pine beetles during the 2012-2015 megadrought won't recover to pre-drought densities, reducing an important storehouse for atmospheric carbon."

Gone for good? California's beetle-killed, carbon-storing pine forests may not come back: Massive climate-stoked infestations are also unlikely to recur, thanks to lower tree-stand density
