Help us continue to play an active role in protecting the vital systems which cleanse our water, enrich our soil, and create the air that we breath. Earth is our only home. Exposed mangrove roots. Mangroves protect the coastline from erosion and provide essential breeding grounds for fish fry. At the coast and inland, our forests are fast disappearing, with far reaching consequences.
Forests are our planet's lungs.
They also trap moisture from the air and hold it in the ground. Deforestation leads quickly to erosion and drought. Forests hold over half the world's plant species. Forests are reservoirs of genetic diversity. Genetic diversity is the key to our survival.
