Location also matters: Trees planted in Germany do not have the same carbon-fighting capacity as trees planted in the tropics, where they grow more rapidly and therefore capture more carbon. Ever since the first seedlings were planted in the barren portions of the Makiling Forest Reserve at the time the School of Forestry was being established in Los Banos in 1910, reforestation has been a key concern of the government.

If such problems could be overcome, how much carbon could trees capture? Because it takes decades for new forests to mature, the most efficient way to use trees to capture carbon is to protect them from being cut down in the first place, environmentalists say. That energy creates new leaves, longer stems and more mass — locking away carbon. Two girls pose after rehearsing for a local production about the natural world. Butterflies are seen in an area being reforested by locals in Cebu.

Efforts are centred on habitat restoration for endangered species, safeguarding community watersheds and sustainable development through agroforestry and tree planting. Though the Philippines produces less than 1 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, it is a nation on the edge of climate change, which underscores its need to restore its rainforests. Thunberg and others say countries and industries must stop emitting carbon now and switch to solar, wind and other clean energy. The current administration also aims reforest some 1.2 million hectares from 2017 to 2022 in accordance with the Philippine Development Plan. Around them are seedlings planted in an effort to fight climate change. This is to enhance the survival rate of trees planted in the previous years, and to boost the benefits to ENGP partners. Latin America, Africa and parts of Southeast Asia, Finkbeiner said, “are the top priorities.”. GCash has supported the reforestation and rehabilitation of Ipo Watershed since 2018. Nor are trees a panacea for fighting climate change, he said: “Cuts to emissions” by ending humanity’s dependence on fossil fuels “are the central part” of the battle. The new forests would in turn reduce poverty, conserve biodiversity, and provide food and lumber that is sustainably harvested. Under the new guidelines, the private sector may enter into a private-public partnership that 1) establish new ENGP plantations; 2) maintain and protect existing plantations, or 3) protect existing forests outside ENGP areas.
