Fallen Baobab Tree in Senegal

Synopsis

Forests are globally important for biodiversity and carbon storage. Forests provide many solutions to help mitigate the worst effects of climate change, such as removing and storing carbon from the atmosphere, providing a buffer from storms and floods and regulating global rainfall patterns. They also provide shelter, food and water for people and wildlife.
