without encroaching on crop land or urban areas.
As trees grow,
they absorb and store the carbon dioxide emissions that are driving
global heating. New research estimates that a worldwide planting
programme could remove two-thirds of all the emissions that have been
pumped into the atmosphere by human activities, a figure the scientists
describe as “mind-blowing”.
The analysis found there are 1.7bn hectares of treeless land on which 1.2tn native tree saplings would naturally grow.
