Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbon ranching involves paying a country with forests to preserve those forests, which serve as carbon sinks to offset the carbon emissions of industries that contribute to global warming. This practice encourages the preservation of forests, which absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and store it in their trunks, branches, leaves, and soil. As such, this helps reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels which lessens the negative impact of global warming. The other options (A, C, and D) are not related to carbon ranching.
