A study estimates forests are storing 328 gigatons of carbon less than they would if untouched by human destruction.Professor Martin Lukac, a forester by trade, says forest restoration is the best climate change solution available today.
(Envato Elements pic) BANGKOK: Protecting forests globally could vastly increase the amount of carbon they sequester, a new study finds, but given our current emissions track, does it really matter?“I absolutely see this study as a cause for hope,” the professor at ETH Zurich said. “I hope that people will see the real potential and value that nature can bring to the climate change topic.” But for others, calculating the hypothetical carbon storage potential of global forests is more an academic exercise than a useful framework for forest management. “I am a forester by trade, so I really like to see trees grow,” said Martin Lukac, professor of ecosystem science at University of Reading. However, he considers forest carbon potential calculations like these “dangerous,” warning they “distract from the main challenge and offer false hop
