FOREST CONSERVATION
Forests and Carbon Emissions
Trees play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere through sequestration. This in turn aids in lessening the effects of global warming. Forests serve as a primary reservoir for carbon, soaking up 7.6 billion metric tons each year.
This underscores the detrimental consequences of deforestation on the environment. Since 1850, deforestation has accounted for approximately 30% of all carbon emissions.
In 2022 alone, deforestation and agricultural activities released 3.9 billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere.
It is therefore critical that we preserve standing forests from threats associated with development as well as climate change. Development of such schemes as Payment for ecosystem services, non-tree-based nature-based solutions and carbon trading can go a long way in providing alternative livelihood options for communities that depend on natural forests for their sustenance
Partnerships For Conservation
Preserving forests involves intricate efforts that demand cooperation among various stakeholders across different levels.
Hearts of Green collaborates with local communities, governments, industry players, and technical partners in conservation initiatives tailored to unique regional settings. Simultaneously, these endeavours align with international standards to support effective forest preservation.
