In the ongoing fight against climate change, every forest counts.
Avena is proud to announce a new partnership with Treeapp, furthering our commitment to sustainability and the environment. Together, we are working towards a greener future by supporting reforestation and biodiversity efforts.
How Important are Forests for Regulating Climate Change?
Forests play a crucial role in regulating the planet’s climate. By absorbing and storing carbon dioxide, they act as natural carbon sinks. The healthier our forests, the more CO2 they can capture, increase Decarbonisation and helping to reduce the impact of global emissions.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has found that restoring and sustainably managing the world’s forests could potentially remove as much carbon as is emitted by global oil usage annually.
Do Forests Protect the Planets Biodiversity?
Forests are home to the majority of terrestrial plant and animal species, making them vital for the Earth’s biodiversity. These ecosystems make Earth habitable for humans by maintaining healthy and thriving ecosystems, providing essential resources, food, shelter, and clothing,
However, with biodiversity declining at an alarming rate, as noted by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), it’s more important than ever to protect these ecosystems through reforestation and sustainable management.
How do Forests Support People and Communities?
Forests are critical to human well-being, providing clean air, drinking water, and daily necessities. They are also home to around 300 million people who depend on them for food, fuel, and medicine.
Proper reforestation efforts are essential to preserving these communities and reducing the risk of emerging zoonotic diseases.
How do Forests Protect our Soil?
Forests not only support life on land but also play a key role in protecting our soil and water systems. Trees act as natural barriers, preventing soil erosion and mitigating the risk of landslides and flooding. They also help maintain healthy water basins by redistributing rainfall and enriching the soil with nutrients.
