<strong>The</strong> air we breathe is shared with every other living thing on the planet.<br />

And we animals have a symbiotic relationship with the plant world.<br />

By keeping forests and woodlands abundant, diverse and healthy, we<br />

promote their ability to continue giving us oxygen, cleaning the air and<br />

retaining carbon that otherwise heats up our atmosphere. And when<br />

managed sustainably, these vast forests also provide food, recreation,<br />

building materials and jobs.<br />
