Preserving biodiversity and avoiding climate tipping points necessitate critical changes in land management and food systems, requiring us to work with nature. The Amazon, vital to Earth's system, is losing its carbon sequestration capacity due to logging and cattle ranching. Peatlands also face threats; their delicate hydrological balance is disrupted by drainage (emitting CO2) or excessive wetness (emitting methane), further imperiled by permafrost melt.
