The Miombo forest covers 1.9 million square kilometers ( 734,000 square miles ): an area about the size of Mexico .

It provides livelihoods and essential resources for over 300 million people, as well as sustaining much of Africa ’s most iconic megafauna.

New research shows that the Miombo may be locking up more than twice as much aboveground carbon as was previously thought.

This difference equates to an additional 3.7 billion metric tons of carbon stored.

A study of 2,000 offset projects found that only 12% of existing credits constituted any real emissions reductions.

The carbon trading market is “full of loopholes, it’s riddled with weaknesses,” says Jackson .

She says governments must shift away from “dangerous distractions like offsets and carbon markets” and instead focus on keeping fossil fuels in the ground.

For Disney , “forests are much more than carbon.”.
