Protection of the World Remaining Tropical Rainforest is Vital for All Humanity

When forests thrive, we all thrive. To prevent the most dangerous impacts of climate change, we must conserve the world’s tropical forests,"These investments will also protect the vital resources that forests provide — fresh water, food, medicine, and habitat for more than half of all the species on Earth. we in Nigeria needs to be at the forefront of protecting these vital assets in Africa, which are important not only for stabilizing the climate, but for ensuring the long–term security of our rural communities, including our own citties.

Fighting global warming and moving to a clean energy economy will require the world to come together and protect the world’s tropical forests,"These tropical forest protections will help make tackling climate change both more affordable and comprehensive, the way in protecting these forests is by including the right incentives in the comprehensive climate change legislations.

Destruction of the world’s forests produces about 20 percent of the climate–changing greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere each year – more than from all the planes, trains and automobiles on Earth, Additionally, millions of people around the world depend on forests for clean water, food, shelter and their livelihoods. These principles create a real chance to conserve tropical forests for people and nature."
