520    Five stunningly large forests remain on Earth: the Taiga, 
       extending from the Pacific Ocean across all of Russia and 
       far-northern Europe; the North American boreal, ranging 
       from Alaska’s Bering seacoast to Canada’s Atlantic shore; 
       the Amazon, covering almost the entirety of South 
       America’s bulge; the Congo, occupying parts of six nations
       in Africa’s wet equatorial middle; and the island forest 
       of New Guinea, twice the size of California. These 
       megaforests are vital to preserving global biodiversity, 
       thousands of cultures, and a stable climate, as economist 
       John W. Reid and celebrated biologist Thomas E. Lovejoy 
       argue convincingly in Ever Green. Megaforests serve an 
       essential role in decarbonizing the atmosphere—the boreal 
       alone holds 1.8 trillion metric tons of carbon in its deep
       soils and peat layers, 190 years’ worth of global 
       emissions at 2019 levels—and saving them is the most 
       immediate and affordable large-scale solution to our 
       planet’s most formidable ongoing crisis. Reid and Lovejoy 
       offer practical solutions to address the biggest 
       challenges these forests face, from vastly expanding 
       protected areas, to supporting Indigenous forest stewards,
       to planning smarter road networks. In gorgeous prose that 
       evokes the majesty of these ancient forests along with the
       people and animals who inhabit them, Reid and Lovejoy take
       us on an exhilarating global journey
