Forests are essential ecosystems that support life on Earth. They provide oxygen, store carbon and offer homes for countless species of plants and animals. Scientists estimate that forests cover about 31% of the planet’s land surface. Researchers study forests to understand how they respond to climate changes and human activity. In recent decades, many forest areas have been damaged by cutting trees and pollution. Protecting forests is important because they influence the climate and maintain biodiversity. Scientific research helps people find better ways to use natural resources without destroying the environment.
