Teal Carbon Study Highlights Role of Wetlands in Climate Change Mitigation
A recent study at Keoladeo National Park, Rajasthan, underscored the importance of conserving wetlands for climate adaptation and resilience through the newly recognised concept of teal carbon.
Teal Carbon as a Climate Mitigation Tool
- Teal carbon refers to carbon stored in non-tidal freshwater wetlands, crucial for sequestering greenhouse gases.
- The study shows that effectively managing these ecosystems can help mitigate climate change impacts if anthropogenic pollution is controlled.
Environmental Fragility
- Wetlands are susceptible to degradation from pollution, land use changes, and water extraction, potentially releasing harmful greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide.
- Urgent conservation efforts are necessary to protect these ecosystems ....
