∙ 12y agoIt is important to support sustainable forestry because forests provide services that are vital to biodiversity and, ultimately, the survival of the planet. This is in addition to the goods and services that forests provide to humans, such as paper, wood products, clean water, wildlife habitat, carbon sequestration, etc. There are many definitions of "sustainable forestry", but it is best to seek out products that are third-party certified, by groups like the Forest Stewardship Council and Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and to support efforts to conserve forestland (e.g., The Nature Conservancy). This is a global issue, but it is especially acute now in South America, where rapid forest clearing threatens biodiversity, survival of indigenous cultures, and carbon sequestration.
