Healthy, resilient forests are our best defense against the climate catastrophe. Three reasons why:
Forests absorb vast amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. According to the World Resources Institute, forests absorb twice as much carbon as they emit each year. By becoming carbon sinks, forests help to offset human-driven emissions.
Forests enhance climate resilience. They are a buffer against extreme weather events like floods, droughts, and heatwaves. They stabilize soil, prevent erosion, and reduce the frequency and severity of landslides. They help rural and Indigenous communities adapt to climate impacts by providing income and vital resources.
If forests are healthy, these benefits multiply. According to UN Environment Programme (UNEP), restoring degraded forests and maintaining healthy ecosystems is critical for adapting to climate change.
This is why our forest is FSC-certified. Forest Stewardship Council Forest Management Certification means our forest is manag
ed sustainably to protect and enhance ecosystems and restore any damage done.
