This amount triple to sequester the amount of carbon the rest of the planet generates.

This model is intresting. However in places like here in the EU, even in locales where 70% of the land is covered by forests, its ALL managed forests. That are cut for wood then replanted. Apex predators were driven exctinct - by eradication programs in the middle ages, and early modern age - and are now slowly creeping back, and in regards to roads, well unpassable roads, like highways, are mandated to have elevated bridges covered with plants (instead of blacktop) to allow animals to pass through.

Was just about to mention that. Switzerland is exactly in your mentioned situation. Seems like we are years ahead of places like the US. And yet, as the wolve has returned in Switzerland. Many alpine farmers want to get rid of them again, whilst they are actually incredibly precious to the entire ecosystem of forests. Instead of giving the shepards dog that are specially trained to scare of wolves they want to shoot them. In Slovenia, all shepards have dogs that are larger than wolves and protect their sheep herds and so they face no losses whilst not killing any of the apex predators. They found a great solution. And yet, in Switzerland, politics don't even look beyond thr borders to see what other countries have achieved but instead try to work out their own useless solutions. Sometimes, I really feel like countries aren't able to look beyond the horizon for solutions. Instead, they stay focused on their own little place and try to re-invent the wheel. It's such wasted time. Also, we should be looking back at our ancestors, not even tgat far back, who knew how to live in harmony with the environment. But no, we need to find nee ways, whilst we could actually just look a few years back and see how we did things previously which in fact weren't that bad!

Tunnels can get blocked, it can be hard to dig through rock, though it can be even harder to tunnel through mud without it filling. There are very capable specialists deciding which technique to use, the important thing for the rest of us is that we push to have forests connected regardless of connection method.

The first thing that grows is not trees but bushes. This gives cover and protection for the new trees to grow. The first trees to grow are not the giant cedars and hemlocks though. Its fast growing alders. Which live betwen 60 tp 80 years. Then during that time the slow growing cedars and hemlocks start to grow. Later after the 80 years. The alders start to die and fall giving nutrients to the future giants. Thats how a healthy bc forest starts. When you start with planting the slow growing trees.most will die.

Planting trees to promote bio-diversity without paying attention to the soil in which those trees are planted is like having surgery without anti-biotics - It looks showy, but won't really solve the problem... Forests take centuries, even millennium in some cases, to mature. We can of course help the process. But we would need an intergenerational plan, to do so. First, you'd want to start with wild-flowers; which can grow in nutrient-poor soils which, as they die, enrich the soils with more complicated chemical compounds (nutrients). Second, once the soil is sufficiently nutrient-rich, you would want to introduce what are known as 'pioneer species of trees. The most well-known of these to westerners are Birch trees. Similar to the wild-flowers, over a series of death-life cycles; an eco-system of various different kinds of fungi will have colonised the soil, feeding on the deadwood; which was left from the Birch. This fungi stage is important as many plants and large trees require the presence of Fungi to be healthy - with both fungi and trees interacting with one another in a complicated symbiosis. Lastly, once the former is in place, Humans would have to take the place of apex predator - unless you want the occasional jogger or kid to get eaten, which is often the case in environments where the traditional apex predator hasn't been exterminated. The exchange between fungi, plants and animals/humans is required for a healthy forest. Unless we don't care that anything we plant will most likely die within a few decades, then we require a healthy forest. Otherwise, we might as well not even bother doing anything...

@7hi5on35 2 жыл бұрын

@Cordon Vidger I like nature. But humans don't really want it, not really. For instance, I believe if there are people setterling in an area with man-eating predators, everyone should either carry a gun or wipe the preditor out. I find human life infinity more valuable. I think anyone who would disagree, would change their mind after loosing a family member to a predator. So we don't want 'nature', we want a Zoo. My second general point about conservationism, is that I'm not hopeful. Think about it this way; it's easier to break something then to build something. Surely we'd have to spend just as much, maybe even more, trying to repair the environment then has been spent breaking it. So the question is, how can we spend that kind of money on what amounts to an aestheticall preference? For conservationism to work it has to be as financially profitable as is the things which are destroying the environment. That, or our wealth has to become completely detached from the environment. This is what had happened in Europe, for the most part. It's why "we're" so pro nature - nature is something exotic and romantisised to "us".

Dang, this is what I get from starting to write a comment before watching the entire video.... xD. Well, anyways, there's some more info here, so I'll just post it anyways. Here's something interesting that people might not know about. You don't even need to go very far from the Amazon forest to see effects of desertification. Right next to it, in the northeastern Brazil states, it's right there. Amazon rainforest is the most famous and known rainforest in Brazil, but we have another one called Atlantic rainforest. It used to stretch from the coast of northeast states all the way down to the southernmost brazilian states. The area in between both rainforests also used to be richer in biodiversity. Because of a mix of monoculture with coffee and sugarcane plantations, exploitation for wood, urban development, cattle grazing and some other stuff during the colonization era when there were more slaves than citizens in Brazil, huge huge swaths of the Atlantic forest got torn down, degraded down to poorer ecosystems, with some spots having the soil so depleted that they became deserts, particularly up north. During the colonization period the north and northeastern states in Brazil were the richest ones. Nowadays they are the poorest. Of course this has in part to do with an economy that started based on primary resource extraction and evolved towards urbanization, but it's compounded with the fact that centuries of exploration left northeastern states depleted of natural resources. And this is something very important to understand for those interested in what's happening in the Amazon forest, how things work in the north of Brazil, and how people should think when trying to help the region. There was a huge focus this year around our current president, blaming him for the fires, and polarizing the discussion around it. Fair enough, he certainly didn't help. I don't like the guy myself, nor his ideas, and much less the fires and deforestation that is happening in the Amazon forest. But... very big but here, deforestation in the Amazon is a problem as old as the country itself. Blaming a single president, no matter how much of an asshole he is, does not address the problem properly, and it is extremely unfair no matter how you swing it. It's a historically very poor region where lots of people are still living like they were in colonization times. Yes, there are big industries around farming and cattle in the region, very rich land owners exploiting protected areas illegally, a whole ton of poaching and exploitation. But this happens because of ignorance and poverty. If you think about it, even huge land owners would not be destroying their own land if they knew this was gonna ultimately lead to a land so depleted of resources it could become worthless in a generation's time. Now, despite the poverty of the region, it's also true that there are universities and organizations in the area with fairly advanced research in preservation and recovering parts of rainforest back. What governments of developed countries should do instead of outright cutting help funds and money for preservation efforts, is to find the right organizations to contribute to. Skip brazilian government entirely. Which is always a good idea because it's not from today that the brazilian government is absolutely corrupt too. It has been this way basically all the way back when it first became an independent nation, going through a corrupt military dictatorship, and then becoming a corrupt democracy. Quite honestly, as a brazilian, I have no hopes brazilian government will ever become an institution free of corruption. Opposite to the current polarized political scenario here and what most brazilians will shout about, I don't think either sides of the political spectrum will ever solve the problem with corruption here, simply because it's so deeply rooted and deeply ingrained in politics that it just cannot get any better. Corruption is institutionalized here. It's structural. Major parts of politics and institutions were build, are run and were formed around corrupt concepts from start. So it ends up in this situation. It doesn't really matter what government we end up with, whether you believe in it or not, if they promised to end corruption or not, what party they are coming from, etc etc. There is no perfect drop of perfume that can solve the stench of a pool filled with sewage. So, back again, the better way to preserve the Amazon rainforest and other parts of the country is injecting money directly in the places needed, helping local people who can make a difference by themselves. This is of course way more involved and way harder than just donating money directly to the government, but the government simply cannot be trusted, period. Sorry if I went off the rails on a rant too much here, but it needs to be said. The entire shitstorm in international press flinging shit against Bolsonaro and the current administration accomplished nothing. A breakdown in international relations perhaps. Less investment in the country, sure. Past corrupt and condemned administration feeling empowered enough to manipulate our justice system to get out of jail and try to be re-elected to power once again, most certainly. But in the end, it solves nothing. It just locks the country in the situation it already is. There is no order and no progress, just the same ol' banana republic state the country got too comfortable with, becoming complacent with it's own condition and going nowhere.

@XSportSeeker Hey Brazilian dude with the long text, you are absolutely right. The government has huge responsibility for the rainforests in Brazil, which are literally the lungs of the Earth, but they don't give actual f*ck about it and the climate, they care only for money. I come from also a country in the Balkans called Bosnia, majority of it's land is covered with forests and there is even a huge rainforest quite unusual for a region so high above ( not equator ). And the government is also VERY corrupt. Just like in your country, but worser. They just grab money and harm the nature. It leads to a much worser situation, globally! People get poor and the only thing they ( we ) care is that our family freaking survives, the consequences are just forgotten. No wonder Friday for Future has started and I think more and more people should go out on the streets, because it is our only home, Earth.

I live in the Arizona desert (Cave Creek) and planted 35 medium to large native trees after I built my house. I protected from the construction activities all native plants and relocated those I could as necessary. That was 8 years ago and I have an abundant amount of native birds including owls and ground dwelling animals of all desert species. Honoring the spirit of the native lands is never taught in schools. It’s no surprise that we are raising a national of non caring and non respectful young people. Caring is part of the quality of life yet eliminated by societal walks of life. Start caring today or be forced to live a life soiled by others.

You can also do this in your yard. Plant edible perennial plants and place them in a way that mimics the forests. I started this in my yard and it works great. It all starts with the wood chips. They break down and feed the soil on a long-term basis. Woodchips also hold moisture. I have 15 fruit trees, blackberries, strawberries, and many more edible plants. It's called permaculture or permanent agriculture. If we had prisoners build food forests, we could possibly end hunger AND rebuild desert landscapes. It's easier to reforest when you don't have to water. It really starts with the woodchips. Mother nature likes to cover herself.

We have many coyote's and wolves and bears here and deer and moose too but I think that you are right about the importance of having a balance there. Dogs can certainly help when the others are absent. Also rotting trees do not turn into CO2 when they rot. They turn into mushrooms, worms, soil, other trees, roots stay in the ground...

Those zone are actually the most productive in terms of resources, where say the land and sea met...it creates shoreline, full of crustaceans, small fish, tidal pools, etc.. There's a big push in the sustainable agriculture business to replicate these high resource areas where two other habitats meet.

The wind will disperse seeds in outlying areas. Fruit trees will invite pollinators, bats and other smaller animals to help fill up the area with their droppings. There is a 3/4 H for rice production. Happy forest building everyone!!!

A lot of the grass shown is Japanese stiltgrass which is invasive in the USA. It's hard to get rid of because it holds enough moisture to not burn and produces enough seeds to readily regrow. You basically have to keep coming back each year and ripping it out, including the roots, until the seeds stored in the soil are used up.

Discussing the changes that happened when the natural behavior of range species were first obstructed will be informative to all of us and will probably give some interesting ideas about potential management solutions for correcting issues from ecological cascade.
