Description
In the Narcy forest (Nièvre), the start-up 'La Belle Forêt' is carrying out measurements to estimate the amount of CO2 stored by the trees and to identify the actions that need to be taken to protect biodiversity in the area. A mature oak tree, 150 years old, in good health, 70cm in diameter and still growing: "that's at least four tonnes of CO2". Instead of cutting it down to make a barrel, the forest owner will undertake to conserve it, in exchange for a few carbon credits. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
