Have you had breakfast today? Sat on a chair? Written in a notebook? Blown your nose into a tissue? Forest products are a vital part of our daily lives in more ways than we can imagine, from obvious paper and wood products, to the by-products used in medicines, cosmetics and detergents.

Over 1.6 billion people depend on forests for food or fuel, and some 70 million people worldwide - including many Indigenous communities - call forests home.

 Forests provide us with oxygen, shelter, jobs, water, nourishment and fuel. With so many people dependent on forests.

the fate of our forests may determine our own fate as well.
