according to erica, understanding the forest is vital. speak up, the trees cannot speak up. they cannot say that they are worth it and they have a value, they are really important. so i made this my life. erica has studied the same batch of trees for ten years now, measuring exactly how they‘re growing and how they affect the climate. they‘re helping us, forfree, to remove carbon from the atmosphere and put it in the forest and lock it up in here. this matters to the whole world because of the sheer size of this forest. we‘ve used graphics to show how the billions of leaves are breathing in carbon dioxide, a gas which is heating up the planet. as human activity keeps adding more and more carbon dioxide into the air, magnificent trees like this pull a lot of it in. but chop it down and burn it and all the carbon that‘s been stored inside over the many years is suddenly released back to the atmosphere, which of course increases the speed of global warming. in the last few months, the rate of deforestation here has suddenly increased. the ne
