Program to Reduce Destruction of Global Forests

The World Bank and World Wildlife Fund have launched a five-year program to reduce the destruction of forests by 10 percent annually in an attempt to combat the alarming disappearance of the world's trees. The two organizations said they will intensify their efforts to support new forest protected areas such as national parks, more effective management of already protected areas, and improved management of forests that are not yet protected.

This is alarming to most of us making us aware of keeping the forest near us - in every society of the world. Do as this year's winner of the Nobel Price Award, Wangari Maathai; plant a tree.

Thanks to the Environmental News Network for the good news.
