A rare ancient rainforest restoration project led by Ulster Wildlife is set to revive an old-growth forest, spanning a 100-year timeline. This initiative is crucial in light of the declining rainforests in Scotland and the potential to create temperate rainforests in the Isle of Man, emphasizing the importance of preserving and re-establishing old growth forests. In addition, a citizen science project in Scotland is documenting species in rainforests for the first time in 50 years, shedding light on the diverse ecosystems within these areas. Furthermore, the overlooked carbon stores in peatlands and the potential risk of Atlantic hurricanes pose significant implications for climate change. It's noteworthy that students inspired by Jane Goodall are working on reforesting fire-scarred landscapes in Southern California, underlining the global relevance of old growth forest restoration efforts.
