Why Forest and Landscape Restoration?
Forests support
living things
They are home to more than half of the world’s animals, plants and insects. Humans also depend on them for the clean air and water they provide.
Forests provide
habitats
Tropical forests contain about 60% of all vascular plant species and 80% of amphibian species, 75% of bird species and 68% of mammal species.
A healthy forest is a
biodiverse forest
Biodiversity is crucial for forests to be able to provide ecosystem services and socio-economic benefits. It is the foundation of life on which we all depend.
No trees,
no life
Species become endangered or extinct as a result of deforestation and forest degradation, and the ecosystems underpinning human populations fall apart.
