We underestimate the benefits of forests. 
Our climate is regulated by forests, which also purify our drinking water and air. Additionally, over two thirds of terrestrial creatures and plants have habitat thanks to them. They are among our most valuable resources because they provide a replenishable source of the products and materials we require for a more sustainable future.
Taking care of forests is essential to addressing global concerns because they have a profound impact on many aspects of our lives. 
Globally, we combat climate change, stop the loss of biodiversity, and safeguard laborers and Indigenous people by maintaining our forests.
Regrettably, destructive practices like illicit logging are threatening a lot of forest regions. A forest the size of 150 tennis courts is lost every minute—more than 12 million hectares of forest are lost annually.

Forests: An organic way to combat climate change 
A major issue of our day is climate change. Strong, vibrant forests are one of the best tools we have to fight climate change. 
Due to their ability to collect and hold onto carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, forests aid in climate regulation. A forest's capacity to sequester and retain carbon increases with its health. 
However, however, the loss of trees contributes at least 10% of yearly carbon emissions. The plants and trees found in forests that are ethically managed to preserve biodiversity can absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and slow down climate change. 
 

An ecosystem that is defined by a dense population of trees is called a forest.[1] There are hundreds of definitions of what constitutes a forest in use around the world, and they include things like tree height, density, land use, legal status, and biological function.[2][3][4] "Land spanning more than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than 5 meters and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds in situ," is how the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations defines a forest. Land that is primarily used for urban or agricultural purposes is not included."[5] The Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 (FRA 2020) determined that forests accounted for 4.06 billion hectares (10.0 billion acres; 40.6 million square kilometers; 15.7 million square miles) or almost 31% of the total land area using this definition.
