Why protect forests in the Americas and not in Germany?

Temperate rainforests are the world's leaders in CO2 storage. The trees and bogs, which are up to 2,000 years old, play a decisive role in climate protection. Nowhere else do the trees bind so much CO2 - 104.79 kg per square meter in the land of the grizzlies! Greenhouse gases are distributed evenly in the atmosphere. According to the principle of climate neutrality, it is therefore irrelevant where emissions are caused or saved. The decisive factor is rather that the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is reduced globally. Protecting Canadian rainforests is therefore a tangible contribution to climate protection.
