Forests cover 31% of the land area on our planet. They help produce clean water and air, and provide people with jobs. About 13 million people across the world have a job in the forest industry and another 41 milion have a job that is related to it. Many animals also rely on forests. Eighty percent of the world's land-based animals, such as elephants and rhinos, live in forests. Forests also play an important role in reducing climate change by absorbing CO₂ from the atmosphere, thus making the air cleaner.

However, deforestation has put forests in many parts of the world at risk. This is mostly caused by human activities. For example, in the Amazon around 17% of the forest has boon lost in the last 50 years mostly because people cut down trees to make room for more farms. Besides, wood trade is another direct cause of deforestation. Every year around 15 billion trees are cut down and used for paper and wood products. Climate change is also responsible for this problem. Extreme weather events like wildfires and floods destroy much of the world's forests every year.
