carbon restoration
Returning earth's carbon
Carbon restoration refers to practices that return carbon to natural systems—particularly soil and vegetation—where it was depleted by agriculture, deforestation, or development.
The term encompasses reforestation, regenerative farming, and wetland recovery: The foundation funds carbon restoration projects across degraded farmland.
Unlike carbon capture, which often implies industrial technology, restoration emphasizes rebuilding natural carbon cycles.
