Forestry
OREST
Forestry is the science and
practice of managing and
caring for the forest. It involves
the understanding of the
biodiversity, economic, and
importance of forests and
learning to ensure that forests
are healthy and productive for
current and future generations

Climate change mitigation:
1
Forests absorb carbon dioxide helping to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
mitigate climate change.
Habitats for biodiversity
Forests are home to many plant and
animal species, by managing forests
sustainably, we can help to protect and
conserve this biodiversity.
There is an
estimated 726
million ha of forest
(2023)
Carbon Dioxide hits
417.06 parts per
million (2022)

Forests play a key role in regulating the water
cycle, helping to prevent soil erosion and
maintain water quality.
Deforestation and Reforestation
DEFORESTATION is the process of clearing forests
and trees permanently to make way for land use,
agriculture, and urbanization. This can be done
through natural causes (such as wildfires and
hurricanes) or human activities (such as logging,
agriculture, and urban development).
REFORESTATION is the process of planting new
trees in areas where forests have been cleared to
restore the ecological balance and mitigate
deforestation's negative effects.
Livelihood opportunities
Forests provide a wide range of
products, including woods for
construction and furniture.
NEGATIVE
Deforestation results in
habitat loss, soil erosion,
climate change, and an
increase in greenhouse
gas emissions.
POSITIVE
Reforestation helps to
provide habitat for wildlife,
prevent soil erosion, and
regulate the climate.
