International Tree Foundation

Why Trees?

Trees and forests are immeasurably precious. Healthy, abundant forests don't just enhance lives, they save lives. Find out how here.

They provide shelter, fuel, medicine and nutrition and are central to many spiritual and cultural beliefs. They also enable us and other species to breathe. 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods and 50% of the world's species live in tropical forests alone.

Yet human pressures pose the biggest threat to forests - we destroy 124,000 acres every day.

At the International Tree Foundation we protect forests and we do this by working with local communities to establish sustainable forestry practices. Find out how we do it »
