A new study maps areas designated for potential carbon dioxide removal projects, such as planting forests or bioenergy crops, that might conflict with biodiversity hotspots.
Such climate strategies could harm species if they change existing ecosystems or use too much land.
The study points to the importance of more careful site selection for these projects.
The authors of the study also note the importance of reducing humanity’s CO2 emissions, rather than relying solely on removing CO2 from the atmosphere later on.
