Why is forest sustainability important?
The world needs forests. They clean the air we breathe and filter the water we drink. They give us the resources to build our homes and provide many essential day-to-day products. Forests also play a vital role as a natural carbon-capture mechanism.
Caring for forests means caring for the creatures that live within and around them. Life is dependent on forest sustainability.
Forest management: A key to forest sustainability
With a growing global population, we increasingly need forests. Sustainable forest management allows us to meet our needs without compromising our forests or the health of future generations.
