As nations race to restore ecosystems and curb #climate change, research has shown that letting #nature do the work is a cost-effective, viable solution.
Scientists found that natural #forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional tree-planting programs.
Forests are Earth's #life-support systems, and tropical forests are the most biodiverse among all forest types, covering 18% of the land and home to more than half of all land vertebrate #species.
They are also a giant carbon sink, so when deforestation happens, we not only stop the forest from taking up carbon, but we also flip it and turn it into a carbon source.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-026-03154-7@mustapipa Thank you so much for the morning lesson about climate.
We should know that our world will be very difficult for us to live in once we neglect caring for nature but only destroying it as a move we do everyday.
We have seen forests burning
,rivers and lakes flooding and we have also faced months of drought.
We need to take action and end these..
On my side, I am training young people about sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation in Uganda.
