🌾 Grasslands store about 90% of their carbon belowground, compared to just 23% in forests. This makes them an important, often overlooked carbon sink.

🌾Grasslands play a vital role in climate mitigation, yet they are often undervalued in carbon strategies. While forests store most of their carbon aboveground, grasslands retain nearly 90% of theirs belowground, making this carbon more stable and less vulnerable to loss during events like drought or fire.

Emerging research also suggests grasslands may store more carbon than currently estimated, particularly in deep soil layers.

🌲 Last week marked the conclusion of the #IUCNcongress, and one important topic on the agenda was primary forests. Highlighted through events at the IUCN Programme Pavilion, GEF Pavilion, and beyond, the urgent need to conserve and protect these ecosystems was abundantly clear.

Primary forests are some of the most valuable ecosystems on our planet. Unfortunately, they are quickly disappearing. From now until #COP30, which will take place in the heart of the Amazon🌳, we will be exploring why primary forests are so important, and what we can do to ensure their continued survival. Stay tuned for discussion on primary forests and how they intersect with biodiversity 🦋, climate ⛅, health 🏥, and people 👫.

🎬 To kick off our month on primary forests, hear from experts on why primary forests matter and what efforts are being spearheaded by the IUCN, the Global Environment Facility, and our partners to conserve them.
