Rescuing Forests
Forests cover around 30% of Earth’s land area, about 8% of Earth's total surface and play a critical role in Earth’s ecosystem. As the second-largest carbon sink after the oceans, they absorb 25% to 30% of global CO2 emissions.
In addition to regulating the world’s temperatures and fresh water flows, and hosting some 80% of all terrestrial species of animals, plants, and insects, forests also play a significant economic role, supporting the livelihoods of around 1.6 billion people – one-fifth of the world’s population.
