Land Conservation is Climate Action.
Natural land, whether it is wetland, prairie, woodland or any other type, has the ability to protect against the harmful effects of climate change. Vegetation and natural systems help in preventing flooding during extreme precipitation events. Green leaves purify the atmosphere by removing pollutants that contribute to climate instability. Moreover, natural processes help in converting carbon dioxide to organic matter, which enriches the soil.
Addressing climate instability is easy, effective, and affordable through natural processes. Nature can help mitigate climate change if left alone. All nature needs to do is exist.
