Forests existed on our planet long before the appearance of humans. Today they occupy 40 million km². This means that for every person living on Earth, there is an area the size of a football field. But are they really that important for us and for nature?

The forest provides shelter and food for many species of plants, animals, and fungi, thereby supporting biodiversity. The forest serves as a source of wood for construction, paper production, and furniture, as well as firewood. Forests absorb greenhouse gases and release oxygen into the atmosphere, which means they contribute to the cooling of the planet. They influence the climate, provide us with clean air and water. And in the forest, we experience joy from encounters with nature, observing animals, and taking long walks.
