Earth' Recent CLimate Spiral 2.0

[Leonardo17]

Amazonian nations are also asking for funds to protect and maintain their rain forest. I think there could be such models that would be extended to all the large forests of the world (including boreal forest in North America and Northern Europe + temperate forests in other forests of the world) whenever that is possible (meaning wherever there is the presence of a strong government that will use these funds to prevent illegal logging, transformation of forest into meat production or soy-bean production areas and reforests areas that have been cut illegally in the past).
 
This type of funding is very important because people see value in deforested areas, in the clearing of forests for logging, mining or farming activities, but most people do not really understand the value of even the shade of a tree. Because the amazons are purifying the air we breathe freely, some people are tempted to think that the whole process is happening magically, without any need for us to grant the trees, the biodiversity, the oceans the very basic right to exist. So funding, as suggested by President Lula could be the right type of approach here.
 
Also these forest destructions are not limited to developing countries. They also happen in North European countries, the US and even Germany were ancient villages are being levelled to allow the expansion of coal mines. If trees had a price tag on them, the market would quickly realize that they are worth more alive than dead.
