A chance to protect our precious forests

Around the world, vast areas of forest are being destroyed every day. Devastating numbers of animals are losing their homes. And 1.6 billion people who rely on forests face losing their way of life.

The Amazon rainforest is being pushed towards a point of no return. If just 5% more tree cover is destroyed, the forest is likely to decay, dry out and die. Because forests like the Amazon absorb up to one third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, they are our greatest asset in the fight against climate change.  

In November, world leaders will gather in Brazil for COP30, the annual global climate conference. There, the UK government will have a crucial chance to take real action that will protect forests at home and around the world.

Forests matter to us all and it has never been more urgent to stand together to protect them and the lives they nurture.

Email your MP and demand that our leaders take this opportunity to follow through on their promises to protect forests.
