Biden order aims to protect old-growth forests as wildfires blaze around US
Fox News
President Biden will sign an executive order Friday that aims to protect against wildfire threats to old-growth forests. It is his 11th executive order of 2022.
The nation's old-growth forests serve as critical carbon sinks, absorbing more carbon from the atmosphere than they release. America's forests absorb carbon dioxide equivalent to more than 10% of U.S. annual greenhouse gas emissions.
