In many parts of the world, illegal logging is leading to loss of forests. Fragmented forests cannot support animals such as grizzly bears or Siberian tigers, as they need large areas of continuous forest to survive. Forests are being cleared for agriculture, often to grow food for animals. Wood is used by more than a quarter of the world s population for cooking and heating. What s the problem?
Global change Allow areas that have lost tree cover to regrow Carefully manage existing and newly planted forests Individual actions Think carefully about how we use products made from wood Buy reused or recycled materials when possible Buy products that come from a well managed forest (with an FSC label) Hold businesses to account Ask politicians to protect forests What can we do?
