Deep in the forest with our rangers: How Plant-for-the-Planet is involved in forest conservation

Plant-for-the-Planet In November 2023, a new scientific study by ETH Zurich gets to the heart of the matter:
Through renaturation and improved forest protection, global forest ecosystems can store up to 829 billion additional tons of CO₂. Most of this potential, namely 61 percent, lies in areas with existing forests, where consistent protection could enable recovery and thus improved CO₂ sequestration.
You could also put it this way: finally leave the forests alone (to grow old)!
Forests are powerful allies in the fight against the climate crisis. And that is precisely why Plant-for-the-Planet is also involved in forest protection: in close cooperation with the local Mexican authorities, for example, we are funding a small team of rangers to protect the Balam-kin and Balam-kú biosphere reserves on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Balam-kú is a biosphere reserve and means "jaguar temple" in the Mayan language.
The Plant-for-the-Planet rangers protect these reserves to counteract the climate and biodiversity crisis. But there are far too few of them! Please help us to preserve this wonderful forest: https://donate.plant-for-the-planet.org/?to=proj_KScGMu0IaH5JKOPHlHDob0pW
Forests are so much more than pellet and firewood stores! They are air conditioning systems, they keep the soil firm and the groundwater high, they produce oxygen, they are recreational areas, a haven of biodiversity, they are rainmakers and so on.
Shouldn't the dignity of forests be inviolable? ;-)
