The Morobe Markham Reforestation project aims to restore degraded grasslands in Papua New Guinea's Markham Valley through the planting of native tree species, assisted natural regeneration, and sustainable forest management practices.

How carbon is being removed

Biosphere carbon dioxide removal (CDR) harnesses the natural capacity of terrestrial and near-coastal ecosystems to absorb and store carbon for extended periods. These pathways utilize the biological processes of forests, soils, wetlands, and other ecosystems to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sequester it in biomass, soil organic matter, and sediments. Approaches to biosphere CDR include Reforestation, Agroforestry, Improved Forest Management, Mangrove Restoration, Peatland Restoration, and Soil Carbon Enhancement. Biosphere pathways often provide many co-benefits around the protection and enhancement of biodiversity alongside sustainable development for local communities.
