Jane Goodall, the well-known scientist, is starting Trees for Jane on Tuesday, joining a global campaign to fight1change by planting a trillion trees by 2030.
Goodall made it2that planting is just one part of Trees for Jane. "The key is3existing forest because those big trees4have stored CO2,"she said in a National Geographic interview. 5to Trees for Jane will support local groups working to stop destroying trees. And those who plant are asked to agree to6the trees and monitor them7they're mature.
Of course, tree planting is not a8for reducing emissions(排放）, said Susan Cook-Patton, senior forest restoration scientist for The Nature Conservancy. " The most important action is to reduce fossil fuel emissions. 9,even if we rapidly reduce emissions, we're still going to need to10carbon from the atmosphere to prevent catastrophic warming. That's11carbon removal approaches like re-growing trees remain important. "
Some tree-planting12have come under fire from some scientists as being13,since many programs don't plant native species, essentially creating tree farms, not helping forests. And Cook-Patton's14is clear: "Plant the right trees, in the right places, in the right way. " This means planting native trees where they15lived.
Goodall said this16with the goal of Trees for Jane. She, noting that Trees for Jane17people to plant trees themselves or donate to support global efforts, said her love for18dates back to her childhood. Nearly eight decades later, she is19tirelessly and selflessly to share the20of trees with the entire world, for the good of the planet.
