Sign the petition: Call on your state governor to protect our forests
U.S. State Governors
Standing forests are crucial to life on our planet. They provide our communities with clean air, fresh water, carbon storage, are home to thousands of unique species of plants and animals. Additionally, they're essential to protect us from flooding and drought and supporting truly sustainable economic development.
Climate science shows that we cannot stop a climate catastrophe without scaling up the protection of forests around the world, including in the United States -- but our forests are being destroyed and degraded at an alarming rate.
The United States is the world’s largest producer and consumer of wood products, which continues to drive massive extraction and degradation of forests at one of the fastest rates in the world. When our forests are destroyed, degraded, converted to plantations, or harvested to burn for bioenergy, their climate and ecological benefits disappear.
The destruction and degradation of US forests is a climate emergency, and we are clearcutting away a critical solution to the climate crisis. The social, ecological, and economic benefits of keeping our forests standing are not valued by the current system that puts corporate profit above the well-being of people and life on Earth.
Sign the petition to your Governor: Commit to Stand4Forests and protect our climate and ecosystem from ruination.

It is now more important than ever to keep our forests standing. I am urging you to commit to Stand4Forests: pass policies that keep more forests standing and make sure false solutions like burning forests for fuel aren’t funded by tax-dollars. Be a champion for forests and help provide a cost-effective solution to the incredible threat of climate change and create healthier, more resilient communities, ecosystems, and economies.
