By Bob Berwyn, Katie Surma Forests managed by Indigenous peoples and other local communities in the Amazon region draw vast amounts of planet-warming carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere while the rest of the rainforest has become a net source of the greenhouse gas, a new report has found.

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.

However, more greenhouse gases escaping into the atmosphere could enable Redwoods to grow quicker. Carbon dioxide, a common pollutant from burning fossil fuels such as gas and oil, is used by plants during photosynthesis. It is one of the most highly protected areas of rainforest found in all of South-East Asia.
