Extreme environments. Forest
Description
Forests currently account for around 10 per cent of the Earth's surface; however forests around the world are dwindling due to the demands of an increasing population and industry. Forests are important to the planet's biosphere as they retain water, preserve soil quality and provide habitat for many species of plant and animal life. We look at initiatives being embraced on every level around the world to combat the negative effects of our quickly reducing forests.
