These megaforests are vital to preserving global biodiversity, thousands of cultures, and a stable climate, economist John W. Reid and celebrated biologist Thomas E. Lovejoy argue convincingly in Ever Green. Megaforests serve an essential role in decarbonizing the atmosphere, and saving them constitutes the fastest, most affordable way to start addressing our planet's most formidable ongoing crisis. Clear, provocative, and persuasive, Ever Green offers practical solutions--from supporting Indigenous forest stewards to planning smarter roads--in an inspiring call to action for the planet"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Forests and forestry. 650 0 $a Forests and forestry $x Climatic factors. 650 0 $a Climate change mitigation. 650 0 $a Carbon sequestration. 700 1 $a Lovejoy, Thomas E., $e author. 941 $a 15 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710060409.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013340.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015939.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020058.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033137.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230404014730.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20221012010738.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024748.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802020726.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220708011151.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013913.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20220603010516.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220514010901.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220427010124.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220330010100.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AAE0467EAFEE11EC9092402E4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
