Guard Old-Growth Forests from Logging
Mature and old-growth forests are a vital part of a healthy planet. They fight climate change, support healthy watersheds and withstand wildfire better than young forests. Sadly, most old-growth forests have been logged. Help save what’s left.act.biologicaldiversity.org
Old forests critically important for slowing climate change, merit immediate protection from logging
Forests are an essential part of Earth's operating system. They reduce the buildup of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from fossil fuel combustion, deforestation and land degradation by 30% each year.Beverly Law (Phys.org)
