Zambia's Miombo woodlands are a climate giant. New research shows they hold an extra 3.7 billion metric tons of carbon.
But climate shocks push local farmers to clear the forest to survive. Solution: Invest in farmer resilience.

We can repair the climate system
And forests regulate water and climate. Official estimates say 12–20%, but NASA research suggests their real influence could be up to 40%.
