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

#TragedyOfEnclosure #CattleWreckedLandscape: The Atlantic Forest, located along Brazil’s southern coast, has been in dire straits for decades, with expanding cities and #agriculture leaving only a small fraction of the #forest standing today.
