Carbon dioxide (CO
2) is a greenhouse gas and the major component of our carbon footprint.
Terrestrial CO
2 sequestration is a way of reducing our carbon footprint using the natural ability
of plants to absorb CO
2 from the atmosphere and store the carbon in roots, stems/trunks, leaves,
and soils. This 30-minute documentary shows examples from North and South America where effective landscape
management is helping plants to absorb carbon as a first step toward reducing our carbon footprint. Learn more

- Rainforest restoration in Brazil
- Mississippi bottomland forest restoration in Arkansas and Louisiana
- Fuel reduction, reforestation, and forest management techniques in California
- Grassland and wetland restoration and no-till agriculture in the northern Great Plains
