  "People depend on forests. They are an important resource and essential to our ecosystem. Forests improve air quality, protect watersheds, prevent soil erosion, and provide habitats for animals. They also help mitigate climate change. Destroying forests, also called deforestation, causes about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions."
