The forest of felicita

Forest ecologist Simon Lewis of University College London is excited about the momentum behind reforestation but worries about the quality of the new forests. “There is a risk that as countries try to meet tough targets on curbing deforestation, old-growth forests are still cut but are replaced elsewhere,” Lewis says. That means no net deforestation, “but a high-carbon, high-biodiversity forest is replaced by lower carbon and lower diversity forest.”
