Achieving these results requires community-\u200bdriven efforts to conserve and restore biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In brief<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Forests have the potential to capture 226 Gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon in areas where they would naturally exist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This forest potential can only be achieved alongside emissions cuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sixty-\u200bone percent of the forest potential can be achieved by protecting existing forests and allowing them to regrow to maturity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thirty-\u200bnine percent can be achieved by reconnecting fragmented landscapes through community-\u200bdriven ecosystem restoration and management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A natural diversity of species is needed to maximize the forest carbon potential.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Research results published in the journal, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-023-06723-z\">external pageNaturecall_made<\/a><\/em>, show that realistic global forest carbon potential is approximately 226 Gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon. The study, which involved hundreds of scientists around the world, highlights the critical importance of forest conservation, restoration, and sustainable management in moving towards international climate and biodiversity targets. The researchers stress that this potential can be achieved by incentivizing community-\u200bdriven efforts to promote biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The forest carbon potential has been a highly controversial topic. Four years ago, a study published in the journal <em>Science<\/em> found that the restoration of forests could capture over 200 Gt of carbon &#8211; which could draw down approximately 30 percent of excess anthropogenic carbon. While this study elevated a discussion about the role of nature in fighting climate change, it also raised concerns around the adverse environmental impacts of mass tree plantations, carbon offsetting schemes, and greenwashing. While some scientific studies have supported the scale of this finding, others argued that this forest carbon estimate could be up to 4 or 5 times too high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this controversial topic an international team of hundreds of researchers led by the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich joined forces to build an integrated assessment using a comprehensive range of approaches, including vast ground-\u200bsourced data and satellite datasets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Achieving forest carbon potential<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to ongoing deforestation, the total amount of carbon stored in forests is ~328 Gt below its natural state. Of course, much of this land is used for extensive human development including urban and agricultural land. However, outside of those areas, researchers found that forests could capture approximately 226 Gt C in regions with a low human footprint if they were allowed to recover. Approximately 61 percent of this potential can be achieved by protecting existing forests, so that they can recover to maturity. The remaining 39 percent can be achieved by reconnecting fragmented forest landscapes through sustainable ecosystem management and restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost of the world\u2019s forests are highly degraded. In fact, many people have never been in one of the few old growth forests that remain on Earth,\u201d said Lidong Mo, a lead author of the study. \u201cTo restore global biodiversity, ending deforestation must be a top priority.\u201d<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8216;Only when healthy biodiversity is the preferred choice for local communities will we get long-\u200bterm carbon capture as a biproduct.&#8217;<\/p>\n<cite>Thomas Crowther<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dataset revealed that biodiversity accounts for approximately half of the global forest productivity. As such, the researchers highlighted that, to achieve the full carbon potential, restoration efforts should include a natural diversity of species. In addition, sustainable agricultural, forestry, and restoration practices that promote biodiversity have the greatest potential for carbon capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Redefining restoration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors stress that responsible restoration is a fundamentally social endeavour. It includes countless actions such as conservation, natural regeneration, rewilding, silviculture, agroforestry, and all other community-\u200bdriven efforts to promote biodiversity. It requires equitable development, driven by policies that prioritize the rights of local communities and Indigenous people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to redefine what restoration means to many people,\u201d said Thomas Crowther, the senior author of the paper and a professor at ETH Zurich. \u201cRestoration is not about mass tree plantations to offset carbon emissions. Restoration means directing the flow of wealth towards millions of local communities, Indigenous populations, and farmers that promote biodiversity across the globe. <a>Only when healthy biodiversity is the preferred choice for local communities will we get long-\u200bterm carbon capture as a biproduct.<\/a><a href=\"#_msocom_1\"><\/a>\u201d<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8216;We need nature for climate, and we need climate action for nature!&#8217;<\/p>\n<cite>Thomas Crowther<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers conclude that ecologically responsible forest restoration does not include the conversion of other ecosystems that would not naturally contain forests. \u201cGlobal restoration is not only about trees,\u201d said Constantin Zohner, a senior researcher at ETH Zurich. \u201cWe have to protect natural biodiversity in all ecosystems including grasslands, peatlands, and wetlands that are equally essential for life on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nature for climate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This study brings to light the critical importance of natural, diverse forests in contributing to 30 percent of carbon drawdown potential. However, forests cannot be a substitute for cutting fossil fuel emissions. If emissions continue to rise, the study warns, then on-\u200bgoing droughts, fires, and warming will threaten forests and limit their ability to absorb carbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy biggest fear is that corporations misuse this information as an excuse to avoid cutting fossil fuel emissions. The more we emit, the more we threaten nature and people. There can be no choice between reducing emissions and protecting nature because we urgently need both. <a>We need nature for climate, and we need climate action for nature!\u201d<\/a><a href=\"#_msocom_2\"><\/a> said Crowther.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mo L, Zohner CM, Reich PB, et al.
