Forests generate priceless benefits for the planet: capturing carbon, generating rain and supplying food, medicine, wood and countless other products.
But neglected forests can quickly turn into liabilities.
From escalating wildfire to exacerbated droughts, we’re already starting to see a shift around the globe. The question is: Will it trigger action? go.wri.org/forests-assets-li…

🔥Confirmed. Forest fires are becoming more widespread and destructive around the globe.
@worldresources @globalforests calculated that forest fires now burn more than 2X as much tree cover each year as they did two decades ago.

🌲🧯Forest fires are increasing. You might be wondering, could climate change play a role?
The short answer? Yes, it does.
The hotter, drier conditions create the vicious "climate-fire feedback loop," leading to more devastating and frequent fires. Get the long answer👉 go.wri.org/climate-fire-loop…

Massive wildfires 🔥🔥 are quickly spreading across the Los Angeles area, fueled by a lack of rainfall, and strong and dry winds across the Southern California region.
#ForestFires have become increasingly devastating for #California over the past two decades, and they are not an isolated event. Climate change is making wildfires more frequent and intense, resulting in larger forest fires worldwide.

Grasslands—including shrublands & savannas—cover ~40% of Earth, supporting 1B people & storing vital carbon. Yet, only 10% are protected.
The #GlobalPastureWatch consortium is creating groundbreaking data to monitor & protect these critical ecosystems. bit.ly/gpw2024
