"The world's forests are being cut and burnt at such a rapid rate that if action is not taken soon, we risk undermining their vital function in maintaining a habitable planet. Already, forest loss is contributing to the extinction of plants and animals, increased flooding and disruption of climate patterns. In many parts of the world, forest decline adds to people's social and economic distress. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
