Protection forests are forests that mitigate or prevent the impact of a natural hazard, including a rockfall, avalanche, erosion, landslide, debris flow or flooding on people and their assets in mountainous areas.

Forest protection is a branch of forestry which is concerned with the preservation or improvement of a forest and prevention and control of damage to forest by natural or man made causes like forest fires, plant pests, and adverse climatic conditions (global warming).

2023年10月24日 · Widespread and increasing deforestation and degradation in the planet's three largest tropical forest basins—the Amazon, Congo, and the forests of Asia-Pacific—could deliver a global climate catastrophe. Fortunately, there's still time to halt deforestation and sustainably manage and restore forests in ways that benefit people and nature.

2019年11月4日 · Protective forests represent an essential factor in the risk reduction of natural hazard processes over long periods of time on large potential natural hazard disposition areas.

Many countries have identified and given special status to protective forest areas. Protective functions can be local or global and include: Influence on climate. Protection from wind erosion. Coastal protection. Protection from avalanches. Air-pollution filters. Protecting water resources.

Forest protection refers to the establishment of designated areas aimed at conserving biodiversity, ecosystem services, and social needs by implementing various management approaches and governance types to safeguard against threats such as …

Forests do not only hold the majority of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity but provide crucial ecosystem services as they regulate water cycles, provide clean air and protect the soil from erosion. Through human activity, however, forests are disappearing at alarming rates.

2015年9月7日 · We summarized the FRA 2015 data for protective functions and ecosystem services, and analyzed increasing or decreasing trends of protective areas. The global forest area managed for protection of soil and water was 1.002 billion ha as of 2015, which was 25.1% of all global forested areas

Mountain forests protect human beings efficiently and cost-effectively against avalanches and rockfalls. We are investigating which properties of a forest determine the level of protection it provides and how this could be altered by climate change.

Forest protection improves air and water quality. Protecting forested land can reduce species and biodiversity loss, which contributes to improved planetary health. Combined with ecotourism or agroforestry, forest protection can alleviate poverty by increasing income and boosting the …
