The Problem with Mass Plantations: An Ecologist's Warning

Ecologist Thomas Crowther warns against the overuse of mass tree plantations and greenwashing at the COP28 summit in Dubai. Crowther argues that the potential of planting new forests to draw down carbon is often overstated and can be harmful to biodiversity. He advocates for preserving existing forests and distributing wealth to Indigenous populations and farmers. Crowther's message has sparked controversy, as his own research previously highlighted the potential benefits of tree restoration.
