Supertrees for a Sustainable Future
September 26, 2024
5 p.m. | Ross Hall
Join The Bezos Earth Fund and the New York Botanical Garden for a panel celebrating the power and potential of native “supertrees.” This dialogue will explore the critical role that native trees play in putting global climate, biodiversity, and restoration goals within reach. Drawing on experience from Brazil, it will highlight innovation and research happening right now to close the investment gap in native tree species, secure the long-term supply of native species, and use these native “supertrees” to restore degraded land and build Brazil’s bioeconomy.
