of one of the most challenging but inspiring years on the road last day of before, head back to the studio. >> there's a couple of things i want to do first we connect
(jayda, in english): so they're also being paid to actually replant the mangroves. so who, who is paying them? (in english): so why would a company like danone want to be giving money? - yeah. (jayda, in english): it's the carbon offset system essentially and danone was paying karim to offset their carbon.
- yeah. - i mean, you understand that? right? right, right. okay. and that was it. my passion is like, what you're looking at right now. i just love mangroves, and i mean, look around. so they absorb a lot of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and they use that to produce leaves and fruits and flowers and branches and roots. - yeah. - and that binds the carbon to the soil. so they're very efficient at sequestering and storing the carbon for a long time for like thousands of years. - one, two, three. - there you go. a little more. - grab it from the... there you go. one more. (grunting) - there. there you go. - oh my gosh. - this is low. - now, that's a nice core. it's spongy, right? - it is so spongy. like feel this, feel this. - yeah, it's a sponge. - that's pretty awesome. - that's wild. - this is crazy. this is basically, you're saying this is blue carbon then? - this is blue carbon. so yeah, it's not blue. it's brown,
(chirping) the cispatá bay mangrove forest is expected to sequester nearly a million tons of carbon in the next 30 years. but here, the community is part of the decision-making process. they help guide the investments, ensuring that 90% of the money is spent locally. it's a huge step forward compared to what i saw in senegal.

something about climate change right now. one scientist is going to great lengths to do her part. here's cbs's david schechter. >> reporter: a hot spot for research, that's one way to think of this plot of puerto rican forest strung with high voltage lines. >> hi, i'm tana. >> david. >> reporter: dr. tana wood is a research ecologist with the u.s. forest service who studies how tropical forests will respond to climate change. >> how can we get this window into a future warmer world hundreds of years into the future? >> reporter: those black panels are electric heaters running 24/7, warming up this plot of the jungle by 7 degrees fahrenheit. she says worst case scenario, that's how much warmer it could be on earth by the end of the century if we keep emitting heat-trapping carbon from our cars, factories and power plants. this experiment was interrupted by hurricane maria in 2017. and ever since the plants in the heated section have struggled to recover.
dead leaves, stunted growth. this looks totally different. >> we have begun to notice that the forest has become shorter and shorter as time has gone on. and so you can visibly see that the forest is experiencing stress under these conditions. >> reporter: when trees and plants die and decay, they release carbon. fortunately, healthy trees and soil absorb more carbon than what's being released. but wood is finding their ability to keep doing that might be in jeopardy. her team is making hundreds of measurements of the forest, recording the growth of plants, looking underground at the health of the root system, and this device records how much carbon the soil is releasing. >> so after one year of warming, we saw a major increase in the amount of carbon dioxide that was coming out of these soils. >> reporter: her experiment is showing us rising temperatures cause forests to release more carbon. more carbon in the atmosphere causes the planet to get warmer. and the cycle continues.
(chirping, croaking) (gypsy jazz music playing) in france, the rhone river spills into the mediterranean sea creating one of the largest deltas in europe. they call it the camargue. (squawking) this is a saltmarsh, and just like seagrasses and mangroves, it is top-grade blue carbon. - saltmarshes are perfect stock for carbon.
