Speaker: Clive McAlpine (associate professor, UQ).
In this seminar, I argue for a virtual halt to deforestation and accelerated investment in strategic reforestation, supported by a comprehensive global forest monitoring program. Without these actions, the degradation of the Earth's ecosystems will continue, exacerbated by, and exacerbating, changes in temperature, precipitation and extreme weather events.
