Governments have just realized the advantage of intact natural ecosystems on climate change. Firstly, ecosystems regulate carbon and global geochemical cycle. Secondly, it is an easy and economical option. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) could assist developing countries to conserve their forests as well as market the stored carbon; however, we have to overcome political and economical problem such as corruption.
Besides carbon storage, ecosystems buffer natural disasters and provide alternative income and food. In addition, there are undiscovered potential such as enzymes that could decompose agricultural waste into biofuels. Both nature and people are affected by climate change; thus, we should protect biodiversity to enhance adaptive capacity.
The safeguarding of nature conservation has an additional advantage of reducing climate change; therefore, it should be included in our future’s climate-change planning. Experiences on tapping this climate services should be shared globally.

ReplyDeleteFirst, for paragraph 1 it should be economic problem and not economical problem. Economical means something cheap or value for money.
ReplyDeleteSecond, if you read carefully the paragraph about the enzymes from the gut of a marine crustacean, these enzymes does not decompose agricultural waste into biofuels but instead its the byproduct of the decomposition process that can be used as biofuels. This was also further ascertain by research done over the net.
Lastly, the summary on the whole was well-written and coherent except for one point missing. Perhaps you should write down some of the solutions, suggested by the writers.
