We Fight for What We Believe In

Forests

Over 80 percent of land-dwelling species live in forests. This is especially true for tropical rainforests, which are teeming with life.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity is the diversity of species in a given area. It would take millions of years to restore if it disappears.

Climate Crisis

Changes in the climate affect all species on the planet. Neither plants, humans, fungi, insects, nor animals are spared.

Indigenous Peoples

Indigenous Peoples are the best at taking care of the world’s forests.

Politics

Nature and forests must be a political priority globally, in the EU, and in Denmark.
