Welcome to Save
the World's Forests evaluation of protected and natural forests
in Europe and Japan. Forests throughout the world are being destroyed
at an extraordinary rate. Forests are cut down for their timber,
for firewood, and for grazing purposes. Both developed and developing
countries urgently need to promote the protection of the last wild
forests on earth, and ecologically sustainable management of our
forest ecosystems.
