A healthy biosphere is critical to a stable climate system. For much of the Holocene, Earth’s natural systems have maintained their essential role in the carbon cycle. However, recently global natural systems have become severely degraded and their capacity to serve as major carbon sinks is in grave danger. Deforestation and forest degradation in the Amazon, Central Africa, and South-East Asia are reducing their natural carbon capture capacity and altering their critical ecological functions. This project aims to protect tropical forests, a key component of the carbon sink capacity of the biosphere, through an integration of targeted technology breakthroughs, deep community engagement, and innovative bioeconomic opportunities.
