Saving what's already there like any forests by stopping deforestation and addressing a ton of other issues like mentioned in the video sounds ideal. Instead of turning Savannah's and deserts green which has its consequences we must prioritize on protecting what's already there.
That's a delusion. Human activity has resulted in the destruction of the global Rhizosphere over billions of hectare. It must absolutely be repaired. Clinging to what's left is like trying to use the corner off a single sheet of 2ply to wipe. You won't accomplish much but spreading the problem around. The real problem is a basic one. Humans don't put back what they take from natural systems. That's the entire carbon crisis. What we need to do is start using natural processes to return as much carbon to living systems as possible. And the most densely packed biomass is found below the surface. And since it's the foundation of the carbon cycle and something we've actively been destroying, we should start there. Then worry about everything else. Otherwise nothing we do will matter from this point forward, and this mass extinction is just getting started.
Or at the very least, it you're going to green arid areas, do it in ways that make sense, like recreating wetlands, creating bioswales to collect and drain rainwater, and planting groves, savannas, and grasslands instead of forests. And stick to species native to the area.
@micahbush5397 agreed. While it is important to re-plant trees as one method to address climate change, we must also remember to use other solutions aimed at addressing it. In addition, we need to remember to keep the land protected and balance them out. As Robocop once said in Rogue City "... take care of your surroundings or your surroundings will take care of you."
One thing to also help planting programs is properly training people how to plant trees. My cousin works at a plant nursery, and has gone to planting days, where many of the volunteers *don't* know how to plant trees properly. She has spent hours afterwards going back to these improperly planted saplings and redoing the work.
Reforestation is often proposed as a major solution to climate change, but monoculture plantations designed to meet targets can often end up causing further damage. Our crew explored the ins and outs of reforestation and talked to the rangers who protect trees like endangered species. An innovative project in Kenya aims to stop deforestation for economic reasons, contributing to a greener planet.
Monoculture is nothing but a myth in service of ideological propaganda The only places where monoculture may eventually happen is in vertical and hydroponic farms The astonishing biodiversity you'll find at any labeled "monoculture" plantation will puzzle your mind
@@VanillaGorilla21 not wrong though. They just don't know how to spell Rhizosphere, or how to explain that human activity has destroyed billions of hectare of the Rhizosphere, undermining the entire carbon cycle. Literally. Plants are just the carbon siphon that pulls carbon out of the atmosphere. Without the Rhizosphere to digest and store those organics, you've accomplished nothing in planting more of them.
Yes we need to stop cutting down trees and forest and stop farming trees and letting forests grow back. We need to stop having an economic system that requires everyone to consume and waste resources for infinite economic growth that is proven to be tied to ecological destruction. We will have to lower our living standards drastically in rich countries and not have such high differences where a few people waste the resources of millions if they have the wealth to do so. We will have to also stop using so much energy and not just build new ”green” energy as it doesnt solve anything alone. TL;DR WE NEED TO DO LESS NOT MORE
i thought this stuff like not planting trees in unsuitable environments and NOT CUTTING THEM DOWN AFTER PLANTING THEM would be common sense, but i guess not 🤦♀️
That's why I follow Mossy Earth, they reforest and actually try to make a healthy ecosystem and always looking for feedback transparency is a plus Also super cool animation this video
Mossy Earth is very efficient with their money and is very educated on how to best protect native ecosystems. I’ve been using their subscription for a while!
I've heard of a logging company in Southeast Asia that uses elephants instead of machinery to carry logs out of tropical forests. It takes the few choice trees out without damaging the environment and allows new trees to grow.
@@MWhaleK Yeah elephants are great. They have the same memory amount as a human, "An elephant never forgets" is the right saying. My dad loves elephants.
Sounds nice, but you you've got to be sure they're not high grading (taking out the best growing stock, and leaving poor and unacceptable growing stock to reproduce.
This video was a real eye-opener! I always believed that planting more trees was the key to reducing carbon emissions and building a sustainable future. However, it highlighted the importance of focusing on other crucial aspects as well. Instead of prioritizing commercial timber plantations in unsuitable locations, we should be focusing on mandating big corporations to drastically reduce their carbon emissions. Additionally, preserving existing forests and prioritizing reforestation efforts in the right places are vital for preserving our planet earth for future generations.
It IS a solution and one of the easiest ones. But these people reject it because it gets in the way of what they want: total control over everyone's lives and choices--in the name of climate change.
Protecting indigenous communities and their lands are also a much needed and sadly too neglected solution to fighting climate change crisis. Indigenous communities are one of our best chances to knowing what are the best native plants and trees to protecting ecosystems and biodiversity.
Not true. Indigenous communities destroyed lots of their environments too. The whole Middle East is a proof. Indigenous communities mostly rely on extensive pastures and destroy the plant cover with their cattles and goats that they use as a storage of wealth. It was only with the advent of the fossil fuels that trees started to return (in developed countries). Afforestation and reforestation are good, almost no matter what. The key is to do them on the cheap, for instance by cutting down subsidies to extensive farming in developed countries.
One of my university professors used to participate in forestation projects in Western Africa. The NGO that arranged these projects aimed to help the environment and create local jobs. What often happened was that when a project was just finishing up, a fire would mysteriously wipe out the newly planted trees and a bunch of eager workers would show up hoping that this meant they would get a new contract.
I think planting trees is like planting seeds of hope in the face of climate change. But hope alone won't make the flowers bloom. We need to tackle the root causes of environmental damage, like unchecked emissions and wasteful resource usage, to cultivate a truly sustainable future.
Kudos to the TED- Ed team for putting the hardwork by working on the stop motion animation for the sake of scientific education..... You all deserve to be admire
I've heard about the issues of trees absorbing too much sun in colder areas! The treeline is expanding in Arctic areas due to climate change, absorbing sun/heat and hastening the melting of snow and the destruction of unique tundra habitats. Some indigenous Saami reindeer herders are trying to combat this by encouraging their reindeer to eat the trees to preserve their lands. Really demonstrated to me the importance of indigenous knowledge and that climate change solutions can't be one-size-fits-all.
This video helps me learn important knowledges! Planting trees isn't a really good way to offset emmision, but the best way is protecting all the forests we had in the first place. What when wrong is many people get harnessed by the promotion of greenwashing instead of the benefits for our earth
As an Environmentalist, Planting Trees are Overrated, I'm not saying it's not important, just overrated. Cutting more trees down is what's need to be stopped, but I know its Impossible for today's technology, what we can do is implement the greens more towards cities, and the Ocean is important too.
So far, I have thought people should plant more trees. However, after I watched this video, I realized that it is more important to think about the surrounding environment and species of trees: Some trees may not suit the temperature and humidity. Also, to plant trees, factories are necessary to be built. Thus, if the treeing is held ineffectively, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the factories may outdo the amount of carbon absorbed by the trees. This video tells me many important things!
Reforestation of complex native and/or endemic ecosystems will always work better than monoculture plantings of non native trees, especially if they are only going to be logged. We must rewild the world and restore degraded ecosystems. This means restoring grasslands just as much as means restoring mangrove forests
I'm thinking that monocultures are bad no matter if the trees used are native or not. Diverse forests with many different trees and plants are much better. And some places needs to be managed to prevent such as norway spruce to completely take over. Of-course depending on the terrain and what can naturally grow and thrive in the area. For example with european red pine, that does well in places with drier and shallower soil.
@@Nemrai I didn’t include that because in my travels around the world I’ve never encountered an organization or government planting monoculture of native trees outside the logging industry in America and Canada. However, many countries around the world plant groves of non native monocultures but yes, you are right
"Removing grasses that compete with saplings. Preventing grazing..." You can even avoid the weeding by allowing grazing. It doesn't even need to be cows; it could be wild populations of deer, kangaroos, buffalo, etc. Or course, like planting trees, this doesn't apply to every situation.
I hate how some people and governments without a doubt or even hesitation,when building cities requiring tons of land they build it immediately but when it comes to planting trees and eco friendly solutions solutions hesitate to do it or not even put thought of it at all.
Once heard it said that, "Nature is nothing more than balanced chaos." When it comes to projects like these plantations they fail to take the last word into account. Too much uniformity is unnatural.
A couple things: 1.) Biodiversity, there's a reason we don't plant the same tree everywhere. 2.) Forest fires happen naturally in many parts of the world and some plants even rely on the fires to remove the older trees so the new stuff can come in. The problem is that because there is so much overgrowth, often times the fires burn so hot it actually reaches a lot of the new saplings waiting under ground. 3.) Deforestation should be illegal, and clear cutting, over selective logging is a national problem, the proper maintenance of our forests such as cleaning and thinning should be more acceptable but isn't. Don't even get me started on the plastic in the ocean and how our corals are all bleaching.
Similar story in the Philippines’ 10-ha Bilar Man-made Forest. The forest only grew one introduced species, 𝑆𝑤𝑖𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑎 𝑚𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑎-a native of Mexico to Bolivia & Brazil. It completely acidified the soil and is biodiversity-dead. Visitors were impressed by the cool temperatures while passing along the 2-km road stretch but the man-made forest is eerily quiet.

Planting trees is the cheapest,oldest and one of the most natural means of fighting the global warming menace.Since afforestation alone can not completely sequester all the carbon emitted by humans over centuries, there should be, simultaneously,full swing implementation and practice of many other carbon sequestration measures across the globe (e.g:- Farming of Corals,Sea Weeds,Algae and Kelps on the ocean floor; setting up of carbon capturing plants; banning of fossil fuel industries;feeding of algae, sargassum,sea weeds and charcoal to farm animals;desert reclamation; etc.) in order to meet the ambitious goal of keeping the average rise in global temperatures below 1°Celsius by the year 2030 set by UNO (in 2016 Paris Climate Summit).
woww, so many learning and understanding about how growing planting trees with the right ways and how takes cares native forest with the right ways, Thank you TED-Ed channel with amazing video with beautifull stop motions and deep learning how to cares forest with the right ways, Thank you for amazing explanations video about nature 🌱🐱
1.Plant native trees 2.Protect trees from cutting down 3. Don't Stop just plant more 4. Use cycles to go for small distance. These are the things I Can do❤
More importantly, you'd need to plant over a million trees per day, every day forever, just to offset our current output (which is increasing every day) - let alone actually reducing CO2. There just isn't enough space on the planet for it
As someone from Chile who has grown up surrounded by pine trees (trees from North America) I can say that forest plantations are a problem. 🌲There are regions so extensive with pine trees that they are called sacrifice zones, because they do not allow the development of native flora and fauna, besides every summer they favor the propagation of big fires destroying houses and native forest. Today, forestry plantations are not a tool to take care of the planet but only for profit 🌲🌲🌲
If the trees in plantations are harvested for timber, doesn't that still lock up carbon? Trees get turned into houses, furniture, etc and then the trees are replaced with new ones. Rinse, repeat.
Unfortunately the equipment used when harvesting timber damages and leaves deep wounds in the soil, something that'll release a whole lot of carbon. It's also known that forests that are left alone and allowed to get old store a lot more carbon than forest that's planted as monocultures that's cut down with some decades in between.
Planting trees in savannah is bad I agree, however alot of the tree planting in the Sahel region is to try combat desertification, or the onward spread of the desert, a point you didn't include. Should we stop planting trees in the savannah only for it to be overtaken by desert?
Same thing came in my school exam as a reading passage and i started to think about the promises made by big corporated giants about planting trees to become carbon neutral as they say. After watching this video i had a weird but good enough thought for a large scale(entire earth) project which i would like to work in future.
Saving what's already there like any forests by stopping deforestation and addressing a ton of other issues like mentioned in the video sounds ideal. Instead of turning Savannah's and deserts green which has its consequences we must prioritize on protecting what's already there.

We also have to make sure the tree actually grows as well. Can't just plant and walk away. We need to make sure it's nurtured somehow so it won't die.

Planting trees in savannah is bad I agree, however alot of the tree planting in the Sahel region is to try combat desertification, or the onward spread of the desert, a point you didn't include. Should we stop planting trees in the savannah only for it to be overtaken by desert?
I'm thinking that planting native bushes, scrubs, and some trees is probably a better solution.
Thank you so much
Cool information and animation
Same thing came in my school exam as a reading passage and i started to think about the promises made by big corporated giants about planting trees to become carbon neutral as they say. After watching this video i had a weird but good enough thought for a large scale(entire earth) project which i would like to work in future.
Great video ❤
