Countries' carbon dioxide removal plans pose substantial threats to biodiversity, new research reveals.
Analysis by the scientists shows that up to 13% of global areas of high biodiversity importance are allocated for land-intensive CDR deployment. 🧵

—finds that the magnitude of this correlation is minuscule
