Amazing forests of planet Earth.
Updated: Dec 7, 2022
Forests perform an important ecological function - they absorb carbon dioxide and accumulate carbon, which is why they are called the “green lungs of the planet” - each of them is beautiful and unique in its own way. The endless and unexplored forests of the Amazon, thousands of kilometers of Siberian forests, the relict forests of America, the emerald greens of the "rain" Australian forests and the now protected forests of Europe - our planet breathes and lives with them.
Forests occupy a quarter of the land area on our planet. Due to the fact that forests are located in a wide variety of climatic conditions, they are diverse. There are many types of them, for example, coniferous, deciduous forests, jungle, taiga, swampy forests. Forests are important for the ecology of the entire world, maintaining biodiversity and maintaining climate stability.
Most of the world's terrestrial plant and animal species reside in forests. Therefore, the conservation of the world's biodiversity is absolutely dependent on how we interact with and use the world's forests. Currently, we consider virgin and artificial forests not only as a source of resources, but also as an inertial barrier in the fight against climate change and global warming.
