Trees play a pivotal role in our fight against the #ClimateCrisis. We mostly think of them as vital carbon sinks, absorbing greenhouse gases and slowing climate change, but they do so much more. Nearly 250 million people, many of whom are among the poorest in the world, rely heavily on forests for food, protection, and work. Add in the 80% of animals that live in forests, and we have ecosystems that support lives all over the globe. Protecting our trees means protecting our futures.
