Phantom forests are forests which have either failed to come to fruition either because they have died or they have been lost through deforestation. The Philippine's National Greening Programme, which we spoke about earlier, is a prime example of a phantom forest, which was doomed to fail from the beginning. 

Climate projections for the next century indicate changes in wind speeds and storm tracks; increased likelihood of river and coastal flooding; changes in the distribution of plant and animal species and in the timing of lifecycle events of native species; water stress for crops, pressure on water supply and adverse impacts on water quality and negative impacts on human health and wellbeing.

There is no doubt about it; forestry is an underutilized weapon in the fight against Carbon Emissions, especially in Ireland. This point has recently been underlined by Forest Industries Ireland (FII), who have said forestry could potentially provide over 300 million tonnes of additional carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration by 2050

Bogs (otherwise known as Peatlands) are a type of wetland that accumulates peat, a deposit of dead plant material like shrubs. They occur throughout the midlands of Ireland..they are also key components in the fight against Climate Change.
