Planting trees in grasslands won’t save the planet – rather protect and restore forests

    By Susanne Vetter, Rhodes University   Tree planting is one of the nature-based solutions being used to offset greenhouse gas emissions. Trees absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide.

    By Daniele Silvestro, University of Fribourg   Artificial Intelligence (AI) – models that process large and diverse datasets and make predictions from them – can have many uses in nature conservation, such as remote monitoring (like the use of camera traps to study animals or plants) or data analysis. Some of these are controversial because AI can be trained to be biased, but others are valuable research tools. […]
