Land + Forests

CONSERVING FORESTS SUSTAINS NATURE’S DIVERSITY, BENEFITS OUR CLIMATE, AND SUPPORTS ALL SPECIES

The beauty and tranquility of forests across the globe, from tropical rainforests to tundras, profoundly inspire us. Forests are a cradle of biodiversity, home to eight out of 10 species found on land, and nearly 300 million people, mainly in developing countries. They offer indispensable resources like food, wood, medicine, fresh water, and the air we breathe. Equally important are the diverse land ecosystems that encompass grasslands, deserts, and wetlands. Each of these landscapes plays a critical role in maintaining biodiversity, regulating the climate, and supporting a myriad of life forms. The conservation of these forests and lands is vital; they are interconnected parts of the intricate web that supports both human and wildlife populations. Protecting these irreplaceable natural assets is essential for maintaining the balance of our planet's ecosystems, ensuring a sustainable future for every species that calls Earth home.
