Protecting Forests

Forests are essential for the health and welfare of humans, wildlife, and the planet. They are about two thirds of terrestrial flora and fauna, an important lifeline for large and small communities, and one of the last lines of defense against devastating climate change.

Decadal mining has destroyed and destroyed most of the natural forests on the planet. In fact, we have lost half of the world's forests. Losing these important ecosystems is to replace the community, threaten the habitats of rare and endangered species, and spray greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In order to avoid further results, we need to urgently protect the rest.

The good news is that there is a solution for deforestation. We have the power to save the forest together.

Currently, activists around the world are threatened by governments, companies and other private interest groups who want to stop criticizing irresponsible environmental behavior. As the forest is still in danger, brave people and people like BertaCáceres continue to pay the best price

Approximately 6 billion people worldwide rely on forests for food and economic instruments. Forest logging can have catastrophic effects on indigenous peoples traditionally managing these lands and forest-dependent communities. In addition to the forest boundaries, we rely on forests for clean water, trees, medicines, and the products we use everyday.

Likewise, a wide variety of animals and plants also exist in forests, and their customs are threatened by deforestation. For example, one tenth of the species known to humans is only in the Amazon rainforest.

Finally, the struggle of forests is fundamentally related to another important global challenge - global warming. In fact, from the perspective of climate change, forest loss is actually a double-edged sword. While intact forests actually absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, deforestation accounts for 20% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions annually.

Greenpeace is struggling for the future that enables our forests to prosper. We imagine a world where our forests support communities and the economy, filled with unique wildlife, keeping our air clean and pollution-free.
