Explanation:
➡️The importance of forests cannot be underestimated. We depend on forests for our survival, from the air we breathe to the wood we use. Besides providing habitats for animals and livelihoods for humans, forests also offer watershed protection, prevent soil erosion and mitigate climate change.
1. Forests provide jobs and incomes
The economic value of the services provided by forests worldwide is estimated at 16.2 trillion dollars. In addition to the supply of clean water and air, these services include numerous indispensable products, including wood (construction, furniture, paper, energy, etc.), resins, fruits, honey, ingredients for medicines, cosmetics, detergents… to name just a few. They also have a role to play in tourism. On top of that, forests are said to create jobs for more than 13 million people. It is also important to note that about a third of the world's population still depends on forests and trees for their daily needs, especially for cooking and heating.
2. Forests host 80 % of all terrestrial biodiversity
All these animals, plants, fungi and bacteria provide essential services for nature and the survival of mankind. They also hold enormous economic significance.
3. Forests are vital to our health
As a guardian of terrestrial biodiversity, forests are a treasury of medicinal plants and pharmaceutical ingredients. Some 75 % of the most commonly prescribed medicines source their ingredients from forests. Not to mention the healing effects of clean water and air and a healthy walk in the woods.
