Forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation through the process of photosynthesis, where trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as carbon in their biomass and soil. This helps to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, which in turn helps mitigate climate change by offsetting greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing significant amounts of carbon over time. The preservation and restoration of forests are therefore important strategies in combating climate change.
