And amazingly, they planted 100, 000 trees in less than six years.
However, drought-stressed trees absorb less CO2 and, if they die or burn in wildfires, release far more CO2 (50% of a tree is carbon).
They also have to compete less fiercely for resources than trees in dense forests.
But teddies are less likely to protest about trees than Europeans are about genetically modified food.
