February 19, 2026

Forests are vital to global economies and millions of livelihoods, creating jobs, generating income, and supporting communities. They provide essential ecosystem services like water, climate regulation, and soil health, along with ecotourism, energy, and raw materials. Collectively, forests contribute trillions to the global economy.
