Thrilled to announce at #UNClimateSummit tonight, we are launching #Forests4Life.

It's a collaboration with @RainforestNORW, @UNDP, @Global_Wildlife, & @WorldResources to protect the world’s great forests. Part of natural solution to #ClimateCrisis. bit.ly/2lz6IC7
@RainforestNORW @UNDP @Global_Wildlife @WorldResources “We must recognize that the foundation of all climate solutions depends on the continuing function of nature—including the world’s great #intactforests that soak up 1/4 of all humanity’s carbon emissions each year,” said WCS's
@CristianSamper.

Right now, we're speaking alongside @WWF and @UQ_News on trouble below the canopy. #NatureNow Image
