Allowing forests to regenerate would help to mitigate climate change by removing carbon from the atmosphere. Leave forests in biodiversity hotspots to regenerate and we could combat climate change and protect threatened ecosystems. Simple!
Climate change and biodiversity loss can be addressed simultaneously by well-planned conservation policies, but this requires information on the alignment of co-benefits under different management actions
