Trees produce oxygen and bind CO2, and therefore deforestation increases the problem of CO2 emissions.
Deforestation is the second largest source of carbon emissions after fossil fuels, where the rate of deforestation is unfortunately still increasing despite huge efforts to stop it. The main reasons for deforestation are deforestation for agriculture, illegal logging and mining.
Success in sustainability can be measured in the number of tonnes of CO2 that is avoided from being released into the atmosphere as a result of forest conservation, and where CO2 instead remains contained in the trees and soil.
Brazil nuts are the only commercial nut found exclusively in the forests of the Amazon. Sustainable harvesting of these nuts not only provides a livelihood for humans, but also protects forests from being cleared for agriculture.
The Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) is found in the forests of Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. It is one of the Amazon's longest-living trees, often reaching an age of 1,000 years, and has a very complex and specialized biology. Its flowers depend on orchid bees for pollination.
It is not possible to domesticate Brazil nuts.
