Letters to the Future

Natural forests, like this one in Indonesia, contain hundreds of native species that all contribute to the ecosystem services they provide. Protecting standing forests is quicker and cheaper than replanting lost ones. Many forests can regenerate on their own with a little assistance, but where tree planting is needed, it must aim to restore natural diversity and support local communities. Image by Rhett A.
