  3. There was a Resolution 2000/35 came up with the United Nations Forum on Forests.

  4. “ The Global Objectives outlines a strategy grounded in sustainable forest management (SFM) to bring together resources for the “...protection, restoration, afforestationand reforestation,”and for the prevention of further forest degradation.”

  5. The strategy is to help preserve a high quality of life for those forest-dependent people that are directly affected by SFM.

  6. On April 28, 2007, the Seventh Session of the Forum adopted its Non-Legally Binding Instrument on All Types of Forests (NLBI).

  7. Forests cover more than one-quarter of our shared planet’s total land surface. So we should be taking care of it, and not cutting it down.

  8. Forests play an important and vital role, and it helps agricultural lands to stay fertile.

  9. Forests provide subsistence and income to about 350 million people, and close to 1.6 billion people depend to some extent on forests for their livelihoods. In addition, more than 100 million people rely on forest industries for their employment.

  10. Deforestation, has been having negative affects on our world. Unfortunately, millions of forests are lost every year, because of deforestation. This causes a decline in soil quality and agricultural fertility.

  11. Forests, also play a huge role, in storing carbon, and since their being destroyed, there is a change in climate, which in universal threatening.In addition, deforestation adversely affects the water cycle, making both draughts and excessive rains more common.

  12. Increased deforestation has also increased levels of greenhouse gases that contribute to adverse climate change. Carbon is about half of the dry weight of trees. Thus, when trees are cut down, the carbon is dispersed back into the atmosphere in the form of methane or carbon dioxide.

  13. We need to make a difference, because what we do, affects our world today.
