Mapping the Irrecoverable Carbon in Earth's Ecosystems
M. L. Noon, A. Goldstein, et al.
To combat catastrophic climate change, our research illuminates the concept of 'irrecoverable carbon' - vital ecosystem carbon that, if lost, is irretrievable by mid-century. This urgent study, conducted by a team from Conservation International and other esteemed organizations, highlights areas in dire need of protection and proactive conservation strategies.
