The problem of diminishing number of trees has been exacerbating which lead to climate change and greenhouse effect. So it is essential for us to find the solutions. Reforestation is one answer to this issue. Despite its shortcomings, it remains a viable alternative for greening thousands of hectares. This is also why reforestation crucial to life on earth.
What is reforestation?
Reforestation is the process of planting trees in a forest where the number of trees has decreased due to natural impacts such as wildfire, drought, insect and disease intrusion – and unnatural ones such as logging, mining, agricultural clearing and development.
What crisis can reforestation solve?
Reforestation is a crucial method to save the planet. This means has the potential to help reverse not one, but two global crises:
Remove carbon dioxide
Forests play an important role in maintaining the balance in the ecosystem. That is why it is one of the most effective methods of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Forests are a natural means of reducing CO2 levels on the planet. The greater the number of trees, the more CO2 is absorbed and transformed into oxygen via photosynthesis. Forests also assist to reduce the quantity of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which helps to mitigate the impacts of climate change. As a result, by increasing the total quantity of forested land on the globe, reforestation will optimize these capacities of forests.
Reverse habitat loss
Forests house a diverse range of plants and animals. However, deforestation has destroyed the homes of many species. According to a recent United Nations study on biodiversity and ecosystem services, reforestation can also begin to reverse the habitat loss that threatens the extinction of up to 1 million plant and animal species—one-quarter of all life on Earth. Therefore, this solution has a huge impact on restoring the natural balance of plant life on the planet.
At Oxychain, we believe that the variety of reforestation makes them the most crucial aspect for sustaining biodiversity on our planet.
