The Global Movement to Restore Nature's Biodiversity.
Given the need to lower carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, discuss the speaker's recommendations for the role of forests in this process. Was he specific about the composition of this forest or would any planting of trees suffice?
Describe the role of machine learning and advanced web-based tools in the reforestation effort. He spoke a great deal about the "Restor" site. What did you find in your exploration of the Restor site? If you had 50 acres and wanted to restore a forest there, would the Restor site offer you valuable information in that effort?
The speaker mentioned his failures in communication and the consequences of that failure. What was the problem and how did it affect efforts to restore forests in a sustainable way to provide the most benefit to ecosystems, including storage of carbon.
