A new book published by World Wildlife Fund (WWF), along with International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, The Nature Conservancy, United Nations Development Program, Wildlife Conservation Society and the World Bank has pointed out that establishing nature reserves is an effective method to resolve the climate change. The foreword of the book wrote by Nicholas. Sir Nicholas Stern said how the nature reserves had played the important role in climate change was first introduced in the book called Natural Solutions. At the same time, how to reduce the impact of climate change by nature reserves was explained clearly in the book.

The nature reserves play an important role in reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. 15% of the terrestrial carbon sink in the world was stored in nature reserves around the world. In Canada, more than 40 million tons of carbon dioxide being stored in 39 National Park, which's value is equal to 39-87 billion dollars of carbon credits. In the Brazilian Amazon, about 670,000 square kilometers of the forest will be avoided being degraded in 2050 because of nature reserves. ...
... Some natural disasters such as flood, debris flow disaster and storm all can be relieved by nature reserves. It is estimated that 232 billion dollars was saved owing to avoid flood caused by the typhoon in American coastal wetlands every year.

Nature reserves can ensure the health and richness of natural resources, which leads to resist climate change and offers food, clean water, shelter and income for community residents. The drinking water of 33 cities, included in the global biggest 100 cities, are from the stored water in nature reserves.

Veerle Vanderweerd, a NDP Energy and Environment Officer, said the living environment in rural is being threatened by climate change. If there was no immediate action, the living conditions will worsen.

Trevor Sandwith, the vice president of Nature protection association and the IUCN world nature reserve committee said expanding the coverage of nature reserves, in fact, is an effective measure to resist climate change.

Climate negotiations are under discussion in Copenhagen and 2010, the year of international biodiversity, is coming. Expanding the range of nature reserves is an effective weapon to resist climate change.
