I think we should address these as a top priority.
Rather than NZ getting planted in invasive pines, we would be better off supporting these projects that are going to make far more of an impact if successful.
The whole world owes it to make this happen. Interestingly enough the sahara was once covered in forest, but its believed an asteroid impact totally destroyed it and the climate there has never recovered.
Tree planting can make a much faster impact on climate than actually stopping carbon emissions, which is not going to be an overnight thing either.
Great green wall in Africa has had challenges with some countries facing conflicts, but the hope is that it can unite africa by sharing a common goal.

And there are projects happening in the Amazon too which is very positive news.
These are just some of them.
