Forest Ecosystems & Biodiversity

Welcome to our deep dive into forest ecosystems and their critical role in maintaining biodiversity. Forests cover about 31% of the Earth's land area and are essential to supporting life on our planet 🌳. They provide habitat for a vast number of species, many of which are yet to be discovered.

The Importance of Forests

Forests are home to approximately 80% of the world's terrestrial animals and plants. They offer more than simply biodiversity; they are vital for the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink, and even the clothes we wear.

Threats to Forest Biodiversity

Deforestation, climate change, and habitat fragmentation are some of the most significant threats to forest ecosystems today. The loss of forested areas can lead to a decline in species, some of which play important roles in their ecosystems.
