VOLUNTEER ONLY! Brown Bag Lecture- CA Deserts and their Capacity to Sequester Carbon

  • Friends of the Desert Mountains Conference Room 51500 California 74 Palm Desert, CA, 92260 United States (map)

Did you know that our desert ecosystem stores about 10% of California’s atmospheric carbon emissions? While most people recognize that forests, oceans, grasslands and other ecosystems play a significant role in carbon sequestration, the desert’s role in this critical task has long been overlooked.

Learn how the desert’s process for carbon sequestration differs from other vegetation types, and how educating our leadership on the role deserts play in carbon storage is a game changer for conservation.

Call Monzerrat at 760-568-9918 or email mloza@desertmountains.org for more information.
