"New maps have revealed the best “win-win” opportunities across the world to regrow forests and tackle the climate crisis, without harming people or wildlife.
The places range from the eastern US and western Canada, to Brazil and Colombia, and across Europe, adding up to 195 million hectares (482 million acres)."

As a reminder: Reforestation has many benefits, but is NOT a substitute for stopping deforestation, or stopping carbon emissions.

" New research by The Nature Conservancy, WRI and partners shows that naturally regenerating "secondary forests" (which have regrown after being cleared by harvests, severe fires, agriculture or other disturbances) could be especially powerful for fighting climate change. It is the first to show where, and at what ages, they can have the biggest impact." https://www.wri.org/insights/secondary-forest-carbon-removal
