Summary:
"The majority of Earth's biodiversity on land--including more than 70,000 species of trees--can be found in forests. Yet only 18 percent of these tracts are in legally protected areas such as national parks. In the past two decades alone, large intact forest around the world shrank by 12 percent, losses that continue to mount."
