Chapter 11LINGO Global issue 4: the forest in the climate change

Forests are important for people, animals and the climate. They give us wood and food, but above all oxygen. We need it to breathe. Trees regulate the climate. They store water and make soils fertile. We need forests to fight global warming. But humans are a danger to the forest: climate change is damaging it. Extreme drought, strong storms or floods destroy very large areas of forest. More and more people need space to live, raw materials and food. For this, they are cutting down a lot of trees. One thing is clear: how we live, what we eat and what we buy has consequences for the climate and thus for the forests. How can we protect our forests? What do we have to do for this? "Lingo Global" presents many solutions - also for your everyday life.
