Forests play a vital role in regulating carbon emissions by acting as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. Deforestation, however, significantly undermines this natural process, releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere and exacerbating climate change. Land clearing for agriculture and urban development is a major driver of deforestation, highlighting the need for sustainable land management practices. Protecting and restoring forests through reforestation and afforestation efforts can help mitigate carbon emissions while preserving biodiversity. Supporting community-led conservation initiatives further enhances the resilience of forest ecosystems, ensuring they continue to sequester carbon and provide essential services for future generations.
