How technology can fight deforestation

WeForest CEO and co-founder Marie-Noelle Keijzer was contacted by The Hindu Times to talk about the technology that addresses climate change.

In almost everything we do, we release greenhouse gases directly or indirectly. And so gradually destroy our own habitats. We must work urgently to lessen our CO2 emissions. At the same time, however, it is important to ensure more CO2 can be stored.”
