Old-growth forests are more important than previously thought

New comprehensive Swedish researchshows that old-growth forests store and absorb much more carbon dioxide than previous studies have indicated. According to the findings, an old-growth forest can old-growth forest 83% more carbon dioxide than a commercial forest. We hope this remarkable discovery regarding climate benefits will help protect all remaining old-growth forests that are not yet protected.

Speaking of old-growth forest we’ve identified two such areas that are of great interest to Naturarvet conservation. So now we need your help to raise the funds to purchase them. One way to help is to give a gift from Naturarvet your Easter baskets to your loved ones. How about surprising them witha forest plot, a gift certificate from forest shop a Forest Sponsorship?

We hope you have a relaxing Easter and get a chance to visit a nearby forest. Once there, you might come across an exciting, unusual, fun, endangered, or simply amazing species. Feel free to take a photo! That way, we can all help share wonderful photos of forest species on our social media. This way, we can honor and highlight biodiversity. Tag @naturarvet in your post, and we’ll see your photo and can share it further if you’d like. We’ll simply fill our feeds with species diversity. 🙂
