If Earth had a maintenance crew, forests would be spearheading it. They absorb carbon emissions, reduce soil erosion, safeguard biodiversity, influence rainfall, and help maintain clean water supplies. They still cover about 31% of the world"s land area, yet their continued decline shows how vulnerable these natural systems have become. Vast stretches continue to be cleared for agriculture, infrastructure, and resource extraction, weakening ecosystems at an alarming rate.
