Global Forest Restoration and Reforestation Projects


Forests: Sinks or Sources?

Tropical forests now emit more carbon than they are able to absorb from the atmosphere as a result of the dual effects of deforestation and land degradation, a new study says.

The research challenges the long-held belief that forests act as “carbon sinks” by storing more carbon than they emit due to natural processes and human activity.

The Bonn Challenge is a global effort to restore 150 million hectares of the world's deforested and degraded lands by 2020 and 350 million hectares by 2030.

The first Bonn Challenge pledge to reach its restoration goal -- Pakistan's Billion Tree Tsunami
