The neighboring forests surrounding Fort Collins catch and filter the water. Thus, if the forests are harmed,

#China's Climate Pledge Will Include New Commitment To Forests Look for China to make new investments in forestry
Greater carbon sink from forestry. Expect China to expand forests in a land that has been deforested for millennia
and to tinker with existing forests so they more effectively capture atmospheric carbon. China pledged in 2009 to expand its forests by 40 million hectares and forest-stock volume by 1. 3 billion cubic meters by 2020.
According to the World bank, China forest cover has increased since then from 21.7 percent of land area in 2009 to 22.6 percent in 2012, the most recent year for
which the bank has data. China reforestation program was ambitious even before the Copenhagen summit,
but some observers have questioned its long-term success because China has relied on fast-growing species that are nonnative and unlikely to thrive.
All four goals will be included in China ntended Nationally Determined Contribution or INDC, the pledge submitted to the United nations Framework Convention on Climate change ahead of the UN December summit in Paris,

#Farming Now Worse for Climate Than Clearing Forests Efforts such as these to slow deforestation have delivered some of humanity few gains in its otherwise lackadaisical battle so far against global warming.
The year before, nearly 60,000 acres of rainforest had been torn out of the municipality. Now farmers and loggers were being arrested by armed police,

Burning fuel produces about four times more climate pollution every year than forestry and agriculture combined figure that is growing.
The research shows that the recent climate-protecting gains in forests are being canceled nearly out by efforts to satisfy the world growing appetitearticularly its appetite for meat.
Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest spiked recently following nearly a decade of declines, for example, as farmers and loggers rushed to exploit loopholes in forest protection laws.
Some parts of Central africa are seeing deforestation in areas where it was not previously a problem.
And cutting down trees can reduce moisture levels in a rainforest which could cause parts of the Amazon to start dying offven if everybody chainsaws simultaneously jammed.
