A meeting to preserve the lungs of the planet

A crucial meeting to preserve the lungs of the planet

An international summit will soon be organized to discuss urgent measures to be taken in order to save one of the vital organs of our planet: the forests.

This gathering, to be held in Paris, will bring together representatives from countries around the world, renowned scientists and environmental organizations. The main objective of this meeting is to find concrete solutions to fight against massive deforestation and promote the conservation of existing forests.

The alarming deforestation figures are a poignant reminder of the urgency of this meeting. It is estimated that around 18 million hectares of forest are lost each year, an area the size of Belgium. This uncontrolled deforestation has disastrous consequences for biodiversity, climate and forest-dependent communities.

The role of forests in the fight against climate change is indisputable. They play a crucial role in the absorption of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. By preserving and regenerating our forests, we could help to significantly reduce the levels of CO2 present in the atmosphere.

This international meeting will provide a platform to discuss initiatives and policies aimed at halting deforestation. It will also encourage investment in reforestation projects and sustainable forest management strategies. Measures to combat illegal deforestation and the expansion of extractive industries responsible for this destructive phenomenon will also be discussed.

The summit will also emphasize the importance of involving local communities in protecting forests. Recognizing their traditional expertise in forest management, it is essential to involve indigenous peoples and local communities in decision-making and the implementation of conservation programs.

The preservation of forests is a global issue that requires immediate concerted action. By working together, we can restore and preserve our forests, ensuring the survival of many species and safeguarding our climate. This international meeting represents a ray of hope in our fight to save the lungs of our planet, and we hope that it will be followed by concrete and lasting actions.
