Forests soak up carbon dioxide (which is a greenhouse gas) and store it in a resavoir, when we cut down too many forests enough carbon dioxide cannot be stored and taken out of circulation and so the planet slowly will warm up. Forests act as resevoirs of carbon dioxide and they are an important balance to be maintained in the battle against global warming.
