Our globalized economy has failed to price the services provided by forest ecosystems into the global GDP
Forest ecosystems are the foundational fabric of life, integral to our existence and deeply intertwined with our survival and well-being
Today, the value of forest ecosystems is narrowly defined by the commercial worth of their timber. This limited view always leads to deforestation, undermining the vital ecological roles the forests play
Today, Forests have little value for humans
Forests are support for all life on Earth

Forest ecosystems provides invaluable services from carbon sequestration and biodiversity preservation to water purification and climate regulation. These vital services are not just ecological assets but also foundational pillars of our global economic system
