Every tree counts! Protecting forests today ensures a healthier tomorrow.
I want my audience to understand the importance of forests for biodiversity, climate balance, and human survival, and inspire them to take small steps to conserve trees.
Fun Fact:
Forests and climate
Forests cover about 31% of Earth’s land area, but we lose around 10 million hectares every year due to deforestation.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen — one mature tree can provide oxygen for up to 4 people daily.
Deforestation contributes about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Wildlife
Nearly 80% of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and deforestation threatens their survival.
The Amazon rainforest alone is home to about 10% of known species on Earth.
Habitat destruction is one of the main causes of species extinction worldwide.
People
Over 1.6 billion people depend directly on forests for their food, shelter, and income.
Forests provide medicines, fruits, nuts, and clean water for millions of communities.
Protecting forests helps indigenous cultures preserve their traditions and way of life.
