Due to their age, amount of precipitation they receive and longer intervals between fires, the Pacific Northwest’s coastal forests are known to store significantly more carbon than other regions – 80 megagrams per hectare. That’s nearly double the amount stored by midwestern forests and a quarter more than forests in the Northeast.

Worldwide, nature’s power to breathe, filter and store carbon dioxide can provide more than 1/3 of emissions reductions needed to meet the Paris Agreement target, according to a pioneering study by The Nature Conservancy and partners. Trees capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) through the process of photosynthesis.

Reduce methane emissions Methane essentially comes from the decay of vegetation, animals’ digestion and the exploitation of fossil fuels, methane is a greenhouse gas with a massive footprint, 80+ times more potent than carbon dioxide in the first 20 years. Cutting this would help limit global warming by a huge half a degree.
