Forests, conserved land, and natural habitats are
not important just for the sake of saving trees and
animals. Forests and all greenery are important in
keeping the climate in check. Plants take in the
carbon in the atmosphere and give back oxygen,
and older trees hold on to that carbon, storing it for
the duration of their lives. By taking in carbon
dioxide, they are reducing the greenhouse effect.
---- And now, deforestation is responsible for about
a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions.
|
In other words, greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, which increases global average temperature. |
|
Unfortunately, many of the world’s forests have been cut down to make way for farmland, highways, and cities. |
|
Yet, some countries have chosen sustainable development plans instead of economic plans that would produce greenhouse gases. |
|
In fact, it is not only the trees and oceans that store carbon, soil does, too, and by exposing the carbon to the oxygen in the air, it helps to produce carbon dioxide. |

Although the soil on a treeless hillside washes away in a mudslide, a tree-covered hillside’s soil stays put. |
