Forests play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of climate change through a process called carbon sequestration. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and store it as carbon in their biomass and soil. This helps in reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, thus limiting global warming. Additionally, forests help regulate the water cycle, reduce soil erosion, support biodiversity, and provide habitats for various species, contributing to the overall resilience of ecosystems in the face of climate change. By preserving and restoring forests, we can enhance their capacity to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
