Forests Are Us: Why Forests Matter

The forests of the Asia-Pacific are among the most beautiful, diverse and abundant in the world. Around half of ASEAN territory is officially designated forest land. But we are losing round 1.4 million hectares a year, which threatens the very base of the system that supports us all.

We all have a responsibility to foster innovations and take meaningful actions to support forest communities and restore forest ecosystems. We must reconnect with the forest.

During Forests are Us: Why Forests Matter, we will explore how we are intricately connected to the forest and to those who preserve it. We will also hear from experts on how we can help contribute to the sustainable management of such a necessary aspect of our life.
