Answer:
Over a billion rural people rely on them for food, shelter, fuel and medicine. The forestry sector provides jobs to millions, linking us to an increasing array of consumer goods that can be traced back to the forest, such as furniture, paper, clothing, sponges and even chocolate. We never cease to find new ways to derive value from our forests.
Today, forests around the world are under assault. They are sick, they are burning and they are disappearing. Above all, our economic development has placed enormous pressure on the world’s forests. Nations often rely on natural resource extraction and agricultural expansion to meet ever-growing national and international demand. This provides people with livelihoods, infrastructure and social services. However, land development also leads to a loss of biodiversity, fertile soil and ecosystem services, which threatens the welfare of generations to come.
We believe in forestry and land development that is good for people, nature and the economy. To achieve this balance, we urge all to leave intact what remains intact, restore what can be restored and act as responsible stewards of our finite forests.
Answer:
Tropical forest trees, like all green plants, take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis. ... When trees are cut down and burned or allowed to rot, their stored carbon is released into the air as carbon dioxide. And this is how deforestation and forest degradation contribute to global warming
