How will these resources help you?

The value of the world’s forests in tackling climate change is clear and well-known. However, the astonishing rate at which we are losing them forces us to ask how we can preserve these vital forms of climate mitigation, complex ecosystems and homes to indigenous peoples. These resources offer optimistic insights into forest preservation in a range of ways, including the lifestyle adaptations and empowerment of indigenous communities and the lobbying of national governments and multinational companies. They all share a positive view of the future of forests – if action is taken now. GCSE students will benefit from these resources in their studies of The Living World and Sustainable Forest Management, and teachers can present extracts to KS3 students in addressing many areas of the curriculum. With climate anxiety weighing heavily on their minds, it is important that students see the optimism that these resources provide.
