About Reforest
Forests are the lungs of the planet. They are essential for a stable global climate, wildlife, and the overall health and well-being of the planet.
"Globally, 35 percent of forests have been lost in the past 300 years. Of those that have survived, 82 percent have been compromised by human activity. More than half the world’s forests are now found in just five countries — Brazil, Canada, China, Russia and the U.S."
