#Treeplanting — the main so-called #NatureBased solution intended to help #DrawDown #CarbonDioxide from the atmosphere has become a synonym for #ClimateAction . #Governments & #companies make #forestry #promises that spring up like eager saplings. That’s become a convenient way to assuage #consumer & #corporate #guilt ..
#Trees are wonderful, but they’re not a #QuickSolution to the #ClimateCrisis

First time sharing an article from MeatEater, Inc. But well argued throughout. “In essence, #naturebased #climatesolutions represent the continuation of the #wildlife #habitat work that #hunters and #anglers have been advocating and working on for decades, but now with the added benefit of addressing the larger worldwide challenge of #climatechange.” https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/general/why-hunters-and-anglers-should-care-about-nature-based-climate-solutions
