Focusing on the ecosystems is recognized as a force to fight global warming. There are two reasons for concentrating on ecosystems to tackle the hazards of climate change. Firstly, ecosystems dominate carbon and other global biogeochemical cycles. Secondly, maintaining and restoring natural habitats are cheap, safe and easy.
Besides tacking the threats of climate change, natural ecosystems can benefit human in two ways. First, it can save lives and sustain livelihood. Natural ecosystems like mangroves can buffer against disasters and they also provide sources of income and food to livelihood. Next, there are untapped potential of the ecosystems such as enzymes that can break down agricultural waste into biofuels.
Both nature and human should see climate change as an issue. Governments should do their best to restore and maintain the ecosystems to fight global warming. Benefits to human are evident, thus governments should fight global warming with their countries as a whole.

The summary is well summarized and has pointed out almost all the important points in the article. However, I think that you should include two other points in your summary. The first is the mentioning of REDD (reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation). You mentioned that focusing on the ecosystems is recognized as a force to fight global warming; however, ‘focusing’ to my point of view is a very vague word. There are lots of possible ways of preserving natural ecosystems, and what exactly is the method mentioned in the article that is used to preserve natural ecosystems? By mentioning REDD, the reader will know that the author is using REDD as the main way to preserve nature and combat climate change. If REDD fails, it is very likely that the temperatures in future will continue to rise. The second point you can consider including in your summary is the political and economic challenges of the implementation of REDD; and you can include this point in the last paragraph. You can state that in order to preserve natural ecosystems through REDD, corruption must be condemn. Moreover, parties in the UNFCCC must raise funds from both public and private sources, and used the funds as incentives so that REDD can be carried out at a global scale.
