    OUR VISION

    A world in which forests are thriving and valued for their significant environmental, societal, and economic benefits.

    DESIRED IMPACTS

    • Forests are healthy and forest cover is expanding, both in urban and rural areas.
    • Ecosystem services (such as clean water, carbon sequestration, fish and wildlife habitat, or sustainable recreation) are given high priority in the management of public and private forests.
    • People recognize that healthy forests are vital to life.
    • Threatened forests are restored to health.
    • Major threats to forests such as climate change, invasive species, insects, disease, wildfire, and conversion of forestlands to non-forest uses are proactively addressed by policymakers.
