Choose Good Wood and Save Our Forests

Choose Good Wood and Save Our Forests

The Issue

 Pledge to buy good wood and save orangutans, gorillas, jaguars and many other creatures that depend on the world's forests.

Forests are amazing storehouses of biological diversity, housing over two-thirds of all known terrestrial species.

Yet almost half of our planet's original forests have disappeared. Of what remains, only about 10 percent are protected in areas like national parks.

 

You can help stop this.

Businesses will ultimately listen to their customers.

If you stop buying wood that comes from forests that are badly managed, or even perhaps that has been illegally produced, then the suppliers of this timber will have no choice but to change as well.
