Forests are essential to the health and quality of human life. They supply us with fiber, food and fresh water and help balance Earth's fragile ecosystems and climate by releasing oxygen and storing carbon dioxide.

The Conservancy's comprehensive approach involves five major strategies to protect forestlands around the world, improve forest health and develop sustainable harvesting of working forests.
