perhaps one of the best technologies at solving the carbon problem is nature itself. i ve come to brynau wood in south wales, one the last patches of a once enormous ancient woodland. today, a reforestation project is under way. many countries have committed to planting more trees to soak up c02 but my guide gwyn says the mix of trees planted is crucial to success. when there is a mixed amount of tree species within a forest, so the more biodiverse we have in terms of what s above the ground, the more biodiverse is below the ground and the more carbon ends up in the soil, where it is stored for a very, very long time. so does he think nature alone could lead us to carbon neutrality? this is a recent plantation. there s around about 15 20 different shrub and tree

a tweet from. doing your bit we share your story. for the next story i wish i was actually standing beside or on top of the lake but hey i am not standing out near any water body to tell me about lake malawi which is one of the largest leagues in africa it is also one of the most biodiverse on the continent several hundred species of fish live in the lake which only exists there but the population the around the lake has steadily grown and these residents live off its fish now there is too much of fishing and often the wrong kind of nets are used even near the national park on the southern edge of the lake the park east also or unesco world natural heritage site but may music status because of its illegal fishing and pollution fortunately the people around the park have woken up they have now set up
