Forests are among nature’s best defenders against climate crisis – if we could just leave them alone long enough that they can fulfill their destiny as avid carbon absorbers.

Research and feedback from GreenFaith’s organized Sacred People Sacred Earth and Faith 4 Climate Justice days of action have shown that care of the Earth, care of People, and returning surplus to the ecosystem through afforestation is one of the actions that communities in the global south participated in.

GreenFaith has been working with partners like the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative and with grassroots leaders around the world around tree plantings and other actions that work against deforestation. But we still need to do more.

In March 2022, we’re going to host a global faith-in-action call to dig into the theological and spiritual resources that guide us in responding to deforestation, and introduce ways to get involved in this campaign in your local community or through your circle.
