Tropical forests sustain all life on our planet. They are an irreplaceable gift, exhibiting nature in its most vibrant and exquisite beauty. They provide millions of people with food, shelter, livelihoods, medicine, and clean water. They protect us from disease and harbor unique and irreplaceable biodiversity. They are also the most promising and cost-effective climate solution we have, as trees remove harmful carbon from the atmosphere and store it in their trunks and branches more cheaply and safely than any other known technology.
Our hope is that this Resource Guide inspires and helps equip faith leaders and communities to take their seat at the table alongside the broader partnership of forest advocates, bringing fresh wisdom, insights, and influence to this urgent issue.
