@RainforestNORW @UNDP @Global_Wildlife @WorldResources @CristianSamper DYK: Fewer than a quarter of the world’s remaining forests are considered intact, and these forests are being damaged at twice the rate of forests overall.
#Forests4Life aims to halt and reverse forest degradation across 1 billion hectares of the most intact forests worldwide.
