Biodiversity conservation plays a pivotal role in climate action from "summary" of Climate Optimism by Zahra Biabani
Biodiversity conservation is not just about protecting species and ecosystems; it is also a crucial component of climate action. When we talk about climate change, we often focus on reducing emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources. While these are essential steps, they are not the only ones we need to take. Biodiversity conservation plays a pivotal role in climate action because healthy ecosystems are better at storing carbon and regulating the climate.
Forests, for example, are not only home to countless species of plants and animals but also act as carbon sinks. When we cut down forests or degrade them through activities like logging and agriculture, we release the carbon stored in trees back into the atmosphere. This contributes to the greenhouse effect and exacerbates climate change. By conserving forests and other natural habitats, we can help mitigate climate change by keeping carbon out of the atmosphere.
