Protecting Rainforests to Prevent CO₂ Emissions
Rainforests, often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," play a critical role in maintaining the planet's ecological balance. They absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and produce oxygen, supporting life on Earth. Yet, these vital ecosystems are under threat due to deforestation, logging, and agricultural expansion. As a Together for Climate subscriber, you are contributing to a vital mission—protecting rainforests and preventing millions of tons of CO₂ from entering the atmosphere.
The Impact of Rainforest Destruction
Rainforest loss is responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions annually. When trees are cut or burned, the carbon they store is released back into the atmosphere, accelerating climate change. Beyond CO₂ emissions, deforestation destroys habitats, threatens biodiversity, and disrupts water cycles that are critical for agriculture and human survival.
