SOILS REVEALED

Even though soil is one of the largest carbon pools, globally storing more organic carbon than vegetation, soils aren’t always managed in a climate-smart way. Often soils which could sequester organic carbon are releasing it instead, adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and intensifying climate change. We worked with The Nature Conservancy to promote a new tool: Soils Revealed. This interactive map will help policymakers, NGOs, researchers, and land managers visualise ongoing carbon losses from our soil as well as the powerful potential to reverse that trend. This platform reveals where soil can sequester more carbon and gives people a visual tool to help them take action.
