Forests are critical not only to the survival of all species, human and otherwise, but for the very survival of the planet. Yet we are losing forests to deforestation and climate change-induced wildfires every year at unprecedented scale

When a tree is burnt or cut down, not only does it lose its carbon storage potential, the carbon it stores gets released into the atmosphere. We are turing one of the best tools we have in our arsenal to fight climate change into climate change exacerbators.

Deforestation and land degradation is also devastating the livehoods of rural and tribal communities.
