Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. It encompasses all different types of organisms, such as plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi, as well as the genetic variation within these species and the different ecosystems in which they occur. Biodiversity is important because it contributes to the resilience and stability of ecosystems. So although we mainly focus on writing about and working in forests, which are the, we must not forget that by doing so, we significantly help habitats of many plants and animals.

Nature-based solutions encompass effective strategies that leverage the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of ecosystems to address global challenges. By partnering with nature, we prevent emissions that result from ecosystem degradation, enhance carbon capture capabilities, bolster resilience against climate impacts, and deliver multiple benefits for biodiversity and communities.
