The 5 Great Forests A Global Initiative for Intact Primary Forests
What is an intact forest?
A forest minimally affected by human activities, and so playing its greatest possible role in the climate system.
A forest that has……not been industrially logged…not been fragmented by infrastructure or farming…not been stripped of its fauna or useful plants…not had its hydrology disturbed or been polluted…kept its natural fire regimes
2.4 Billion Tonnes of Carbon per year
