BIODIVERSITY, DEFORESTATION & HABITATS

Illegal logging results in unmanaged and often irreparable deforestation. Maintaining forests is essential in maintaining a healthy diverse environment as nearly ninety percent of terrestrial biodiversity is found in the forests of the world.

Threatened forests in Asia, Africa and Russia are home to a number of critically endangered species. The current failure to protect forests around the world from illegal (and in some cases legal but unsustainable) logging is resulting in what has been described as the next great 'spasm of extinction'.

Forests also help to shelter water resources in the ground, protecting vital supplies for animals, communities and, in some cases, other resources such as hydropower. Short term commercial exploitation of forests can lead to many long term problems with water supplies in local areas, and water protection is one of the 'ecosystem services' that, it is hoped, may help to pay to protect forests in the future.
