Bruno MarićWhy choose forests?
The world needs forests. They clean the air we breathe and filter the water we drink. They give us the resources to build our homes and provide many essential day-to-day products. Forests also play a vital role as a natural carbon-capture mechanism. Learn more about the benefits from the forests.
Globally, 1.6 billion people rely on forests directly for their livelihoods. But people aren’t the only ones who rely on forests.
Over half the world’s species call forests their home, making them one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on our planet. Caring for forests means caring for the creatures that live within and around them. Life is dependent on healthy, diverse ecosystems and forests are a vital habitat.

5 actions you can do to take care of forests
01Check for the FSC label when you purchase
Choose FSC-certified products while you are shopping in stores or online. How? Look for the FSC ‘check-tree’ label, found on millions of products worldwide. It verifies sustainable sourcing from the forest to store shelves.
02Ask your employer to support FSC
FSC is always keen for more businesses to support our mission to help protect the world’s forests.
Make a change in your own workplace. It can be small, like replacing the coffee cups in your break room with FSC-certified ones.
03Visit forests
It's hard to know what you’re trying to protect if you haven’t seen it for yourself. So, explore and appreciate the natural beauty of the world’s forests and everything they have to offer.

Everybody has a role to play in influencing positive change. So get the word out there. Help and challenge those around you to learn more about our forests.
