How a 2 Ton Biomass tree stores 1 Ton of Carbon and keeps 3, 67 Ton of CO2 away from the atmosphere.
With Record-High CO2 Emissions in 2010,It’s Getting Hard to Turn Down the Heat
In 2009, more than 50,000 fires raged throughout the Brazilian Amazon, reducing what were once lush rain forests to charred plains stretching to the horizon. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, fires on the island of Borneo consumed millions of hectares of old-growth forests.
Land use changes such as the destruction of the Amazonian forests accounts for approximately 20% of the annual global greenhouse gas emissions - more than the emissions from the transportations sector worldwide.
The International Panel on Climate Change recently concluded that avoidable forestation projects, such as ours, are the best short term answer to green house gas mitigation. They concluded that they are much less expensive than other current mitigation methods and have the potential to imme-diately slow the growth of global warming.
The burning of the Amazon rain forest has made Brazil a world leader in greenhouse gas pollution. It is ranked number four just behind China, the United States and Indonesia. Paulo Moutinho, a researcher at the non-governmental Institute for Amazon Research, said the inventory shows that Brazil produces around 300 million tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent a year. Of which 200 million tons comes from logging and burning of the world’s largest tropical forest. Tropical forests are the world’s richest centers of biodiversity, and more than a billion of the world’s poorest people rely on them for fuel and food.

The Xingu basin is a place of very high biodiversity and the biodiversity of fish is the same as the whole of Europe’s.
