Too precious to lose

When wedrink a glass of water, write in a notebook, take medicine for a fever or builda house, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet, these andmany other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another.

Forestsustainable management and their use of resources are key to combating climatechange, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current andfuture generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation andin the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). Yet despite all these priceless ecological, economic, social and healthbenefits, global deforestation continues at an alarming rate.

Wood helpsto provide bacteria-free food and water in many kitchens, build countlessfurniture and utensils, replace materials as harmful as plastic, create newfibers for our clothes and, through technology , be part of the fields ofmedicine or the space race.

It isvital to consume and produce wood in a more environmentally friendly way forthe planet and its inhabitants. Let’s protect this easily renewable resourcewith a sustainable management of forests.
