When we think of solutions that may help save the world from climate change, we tend to think of the technologies such as solar panels and carbon capture systems.

One way, a researcher found, is simple to cut aggressive liana vines in Africa’s jungles to allow trees to recover more quickly and robustly. By doing this, trees can grow healthier and larger, which means they suck up more carbon. Considering that tropical jungles are the best sponges of carbon, this simple plan can help a lot in the fight against climate change.
This simple strategy could help mitigate massive amounts of carbon
