 Forests. Where are they important for sustainable development? People have relied on forests since the beginning of humanity. Today, forests cover around 30% of Earth's surface and about 90% of people in extreme poverty depend on them for their livelihoods and they provide food, water, clothing, medicine, energy and household materials. Actually, we all depend on some standard forests. Forests give us a sense of environmental services that other land uses don't. Forests regulate a hydrological cycle, allowing better water distribution and availability. They also protect soils from erosion, preventing landslides and river sedimentation and protect us from natural disasters like fruits and growths. Forests store about half the carbon-containing terrestrial ecosystem, mitigating lower warming and ocean acidification. And they represent most of terrestrial biodiversity, playing a vital role in the adoption of Earth. Even more important, all these benefits are framed in a context of climate change and full exploitation of natural resources. Every year about 30 million hectares of forest are lost and only the hectares of primary forests become disturbed. Together, that's like two football fields every three seconds. Well, we all know that stuff. We can continue disrupting natural balance and pretend nothing will happen. But have you considered the social benefits that forest conservation imply? The last gift forest gave humanity is a necessity to be organized for the sustainable use. To enjoy what forest provides now and in the future, we must work collectively, educating us in common good and co-existed principles, creating a space for discussion and articulating with national and global society. Forest sustainable use requires local empowerment and goal, thus creating ideal concepts for the inclusion of minorities and gender equity. It requires territorial organization too, so we can prevent land use conflicts and promote planning and growth. Also, it generates income and employment, reducing citizen immigration and its consequential problems. Forest populations are usually vulnerable populations. Promote forest management and you will reduce an equity. Forest even improved people's interpersonal relationship and emotional health. So, let's make things the importance of forests. Development needs an integrated approach. Forest in relation needs to communicate in relation. Think forests.
