      "This carbon sink is turning off far earlier than even the most pessimistic of these climate models". ⚠️ By 2030, the African jungle will absorb 14% less carbon dioxide than it did 10 to 15 years ago. By 2035, Amazonian trees won’t absorb any CO2 at all.https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/the-congo-rainforest-is-losing-its-ability-to-absorb-carbon-dioxide-thats-bad-for-climate-change/ …

          Elephants, gorillas, and large herbivores keep the density of small trees very low through predation, reducing competition for large trees. But in areas where these animals have been depleted by hunting, forests tend to be shorter + denser with small trees.https://rainforests.mongabay.com/congo/

          The extra carbon in African forests comes from trees being larger; the average diameter of a tree in an African rainforest is 1.5 times larger than that of a tree in the Amazon. Trees in African rainforests are also taller than their Amazonian counterparts.https://theconversation.com/africas-rainforests-are-different-why-it-matters-that-theyre-protected-77203 …
