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 whatβs left.act.biologicaldiversity.org
