Every 2nd year I teach part of the course Flora & Fauna in the Faroe Islands ( Guess which part😏) for 1st year BSc students at the University of the Faroe Islands. Teaching lifts my spirit in these dark land-degradation times!

Earth's natural carbon sinks are critical for slowing down #ClimateChange.🌿🌳🌏

A @visualcap infographic shows how much carbon is stored in different ecosystems.
