The study considers restoring forests where they would naturally exist if not for humans, either by allowing degraded forests to regrow or by reforesting bare areas, but excludes areas vital to agriculture or areas that have already been converted to cities. <span>Achieving the world&#039;s full potential for restoration would remove an estimated 226 gigatonnes of excess carbon from the atmosphere \u2013 or roughly one-third of the amount added to the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, the research found. <\/span><span>&quot;We cannot choose between nature and decarbonization. We absolutely must take steps to achieve both at the same time,&quot; said ecologist Thomas Crowther of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.
