Going Ghostbusters on Peatlands
Conservationists take the first steps towards restoring some Minnesota peatlands.
For Climate Adaptation, Forests Offer More Than Carbon Storage
New research finds that forests play a far greater role in protecting people from climate change than previously recognized.
Grazing Lands as Climate Solutions: Key Practices for Carbon and Biodiversity
Study finds wetland restoration, pasture planting, and adjusted grazing can boost soil carbon and cut emissions—but more research is needed for lasting impact.
Forest Carbon Projects May Help More Than We Thought—New Study Finds Leakage Often Overestimated
New findings challenge current carbon market accounting practices and advocate for more nuanced, carbon-specific leakage estimates to ensure integrity and unlock greater investment in Climate Smart Forestry as a natural climate solution.
Maximizing Climate Returns: Albedo Accounting for Smarter Carbon Investments
New research shows how the albedo effect—Earth’s reflectivity—influences how well forest restoration projects can help cool the Earth.
Aquaculture Can Benefit Blue Carbon Ecosystems
A new review, led by TNC scientists, explores the potential for bivalve aquaculture to benefit blue carbon ecosystems.
Young Forests Are an Overlooked Climate Solution
New research by TNC scientists provides the first detailed picture of the carbon removal value of naturally regrowing forests
The Overlooked Carbon Storage Potential of Tidal Marshes
Tidal marshes may not build forests, but they do build soil. And in that soil they trap, deposit and secure carbon. A whole lot of carbon.
Peatlands Are One of Earth’s Most Underrated Ecosystems
Peatlands are incredible Natural Climate Solutions. They cover only 3% of Earth’s surface, but store around 30% of all the carbon on land.
Forest Management Can Keep Carbon in Forests and Protect Communities from Wildfire in the American West
The U.S. is investing billions of dollars to reduce forest fire risks. New research maps the hot spots where investments in strategic forest management could offer the biggest payoff for people and climate.
Liana Cutting in Selectively Logged Forests Increases Carbon Sequestration
Cutting lianas, a diverse group of woody climbing plants, is a well-known way to increase carbon sequestration and timber production.
Savanna Fire Management Can Fund Africa’s Protected Areas
A new study finds that fire management on Africa’s savannas can generate enough carbon revenue to help fill the funding gap for protected areas.
