Аннотация:WWF's vision for the forests of the world, shared with its longstanding partner, the World Conservation Union (IUCN), is that "the world will have more extensive, more diverse and higherquality forest landscapes which will meet human needs and aspirations fairly, while conserving biological diversity and fulfilling the ecosystem functions necessary for all life on Earth."WWF's approach to forest conservation has evolved over time into a global programme of integrated field and policy activities aimed at the protection, responsible management, and restoration of forests, whilst at the same time working to address the key threats which could potentially undermine these efforts.Those of particular concern to WWF are illegal logging and forest crime, conversion of forests to plantation crops of palm oil and soy, forest fires, and climate change.The Forests for Life Programme consists of a global network of more than 250 staff working on over 300 projects in nearly 90 countries.
