The regions considered for deforestation (green), showing river systems, particularly in Russia, Canada, and the USA. Areas of forest affected by fires in the period 2002–2020 are marked in red. Researchers are focusing on coniferous forests in Siberia and North America, including the Ob, Yenisei, Lena, Yukon, and Mackenzie river basins. These forests collectively store an estimated 100 gigatons of carbon. Harvesting just 1 percent of this area, around 180,000 square kilometers, and channeling the wood to the Arctic could capture one gigaton of carbon dioxide per year. Source: CzechGlobe.

The plan aims to remove roughly one gigaton of carbon dioxide annually, equivalent to about a tenth of global yearly emissions. #Geoengineering #CarbonSequestration #Deforestation #Driftwood #SinkingTimber #ArcticOcean
