Salazar called for expanded landscape conservation cooperatives, which can protect critical carbon sinks and wildlife habitats. Salazar said landscape conservation cooperatives can serve as both wildlife migration corridors and a major part of a U.S. C02 bio-sequestration strategy.

U.S. lands are the key sources for biosequestration and geological sequestration of C02.
