Question: Do urban forests offset rainforest loss?

By Idelle, November 8, 2009

Here’s a question I thought of recently: Do the planted trees of our cities and suburbia at all offset the loss of our rainforests? I’m not suggesting that the natural ecosystems of rainforests can be replaced with planted trees in yards, but does it make a difference? I welcome comments!

What do you think?
