Protected areas such as rainforests occupy more than one-tenth of the Earth\u2019s landscape, and provide invaluable ecosystem services, from erosion control to pollination to biodiversity preservation. They also draw heat-trapping carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plants and soil through photosynthesis, yielding a net cooling effect on the planet.Determining the role protected areas play as carbon sinks \u2014 now and in decades to come \u2014 is a topic of intense interest to the climate-policy community as it seeks science-based strategies to mitigate climate change. Toward that end, a\u00a0study\u00a0in the journal\u00a0Ambioestimates for the first time the amount of CO2\u00a0sequestered by protected areas, both at present and throughout the 21st century as projected under various climate and land-use scenarios.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-1699743","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNatural carbon sinks and their role in climate -
