Reversing deforestation
We can shape the fate of Earth's remaining rainforests, jungles and woodlands.
Buy FSC-certified wood and give a boost to our sustainable forestry work. Support sustainable palm oil to protect orang-utans and other forest wildlife. And green your ways to keep forests standing in our drive to reduce global warming.One common goal weaves these efforts together: a world with zero net deforestation (you can find out more about deforestation here).
Help WWF to keep forests they way they should be — standing.

Protected areas help people cope with climate change
Climate change poses an unprecedented level of threat to life on the planet. But serious as the situation has now become, much can still be done to reduce the problems created by climate change. “Natural Solutions” focuses on the role that protected areas can play in mitigating and adapting to climate change; a set of options that so far has been under-represented in global response strategies. In the rush for “new” solutions to climate change, we are in danger of neglecting a proven alternative.
Responsible forestry offers lifeline to great apes
Long-term survival of great apes is only ensured when the species reside in networks of effectively protected areas, certified logging concessions and other suitable habitats.
