environment.”

PLEDGE:

It is our responsibility to preserve and tend to the

world in which we all live as it is our home worth
fighting for. It is our duty to remember that the

 WHAT ARE FORESTS?

A forest is a complex ecological system

in which trees are the dominant life-form.

Forests cover one third of earth’s land

mass, supporting the livelihoods of 1,6 01
billion people, and they are home more
than half of the world’s land-based
02
animals and plants.

 THREATS TO FORESTS
TYPES OF RAINFOREST FOODS DURING THE YEAR

Fires
Wildfires can harm animal habitats and
nearby structures. While natural fires
caused by lightning can help regulate the
growth of a forest, they do still harm air
and water quality of surrounding areas.

Insects
Pests such as bark beetles can detect when a
tree is stressed from drought, root disease or
storm damage. This is how they choose
which tree to lay their eggs in, often killing
trees. Usually, insect infestation is what kills
an unhealthy tree.

Fires Tree Disease

Wildfires can harm animal habitats and nearby
structures. While natural fires caused by
lightning can help regulate the growth of a
forest, they do still harm air and water quality
of surrounding areas.
Trees affected by various diseases are more
susceptible to pers and are more likely to fall
during a storm or high winds. Certain diseases
may also hinder the ability of the tree to take
up water and nutrients.

Climate change amplifies the effects of forest
threats, leading to longer, more intense forest
fires and increased insect and dsease
outbreaks. Extreme weather conditions also
have lasting impacts on forest health
 STEPS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
AFFORESATION PROGRAMS AND THE CONTROL OF FOREST FIRES,
BE IT BY RAPID RESPONSE OR PREVENTION HAVE AIDED IN THE
PROTECTION OF OUR FORESTS IN RECENT YEARS.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LAWS WITH THE SUSTAINABLE

DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN MIND AND CREATION OF FOREST PARKS
AND RESERVES HAVE ALSO ENSURED THAT OUR FORESTS REMAIN
