FORTUNE - There are not enough seeds, people to collect them, and nurseries to grow them

There are not enough seeds, people to collect them, and nurseries to grow them.⁠⁠Reforesting the full extent of suitable land in the U.S. would increase natural carbon capture in forests by more than 40% each year. According to research from the Nature Conservancy, there are 133 million acres of ecologically suitable land for reforestation across America.⁠⁠However, according to American Forests CEO Jad Daley and Terraformation CEO Yishan Wong, we’re not ready to meet this reforestation potential.⁠⁠“While forests are among our best natural solutions to climate change, the ability to protect our nation through reforestation will only decrease unless we intervene in this seed shortage,” Daley and Wong write in a commentary piece for Fortune.⁠⁠🔗 Read the full story by clicking the link in bio.⁠
