Disappearing Forests

Extreme Environmental Threats

Forests are a precious natural resource, but today they are under threat across the world. They are being logged, burnt, cleared, and degraded. When managed capably, forests can flourish as havens for natural life while also providing human communities with wood, employment, and ecological services. It remains to be seen, however, whether the human race will be able to meet the challenge of forest conservation and sustainable development that is crucial to the survival of these endangered and essential cradles of life.
