Save Our Planet
Forests come in a variety of types; tropical and temperate rainforests, subtropical rainforests, monsoonal rainforests, cloud forest, lowland rainforests, hill slope forests, temperate hardwood forests, tropical dry forests, tropical and subtropical coniferous forests all of which can be in either primary or secondary forms. There are 2 things that all these different types of forests have in common, they are essential to the long-term survival of life on Earth as we know it - and they all are in massive decline.
Destroying rainforests for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal. - Edward O. Wilson
Environmental scientists refer to forests as the ‘Lungs of the Earth’. They absorb carbon, release oxygen, clean water, and also provide shelter, fuel and food. Forests are crucial in recycling carbon, oxygen and nitrogen and reducing the effects of pollution acting as a natural filter for the air we breathe. In the process of growth, trees also absorb the surrounding heat which controls localised and worldwide temperatures while the leaf cover that they provide give an additional ‘cooling effect’ to the Earth. The more forests that are cut down the more we reduce this beneficial process.
Forests also provide humanity with various other essential services. When a forest is destroyed, it can affect not only the balance of the direct environment but also surrounding environment. They also store water, regulate rainfall and provide a home to over half the planet’s biodiversity by providing protection to the ecosystems that depend on them. This enables many threatened and endangered species to continue to exist.
Saving the forests is not only vital for sustaining ecosystems that humanity is dependent on but they also provides sustenance and income for more than one billion people globally. Saving what remains of our forests has become essential to maintain our way of life, but currently excessive global consumption, corporate greed and illegal logging are putting immense pressures on forests worldwide.
Billions of dollars every year are now being pledged to help developing countries stop forest destruction, acquire clean energy and adapt to climate change creating an incredible opportunity for businesses like Carbon Central Network and our members to be involved. Deforestation has become one of the most significant issues of the modern age and CCN knows that considerable measures must be taken now to prevent further pillaging of our essential forest resources. It is essential that these areas become the primary focus for new conservation projects like the conservation initiative begun by Carbon Central Network.
The time for global action to protect forests is now. The world needs successful examples of climate solutions that produce visibly tangible results. It is CCN’s hope that our conservation initiative will be a critical first step to achieve this. We hope to inspire governments and other organisations around the world to create similar programs that will become a worldwide movement resulting in the total protection of the remaining precious forests that we have left.
