About 80 percent of Earth’s land animals make a home in the forests. Lots of people are working hard to protect forests, and you can, too. Follow these tips to help keep the planet’s forests standing tall.

Light Touch

Don’t take rocks, earth, flowers and leaves from the forest floor—they are an important part of the forest and provide homes for small animals like ants and snakes.

Gum Shoe

Clean the bottom of your shoes before walking in a new place—the seeds (种子) from other places might be under your shoes, which can harm the living areas of some animals and plants.

Trash Trooper

Bring an extra bag along on your walk: you can pick up litter as you go and help keep the forest clean.

Fire Safety

During dry seasons, wildfires can quickly burn down woods and forests. If you go camping, build campfires only in areas allowed, and make sure they’re fully put out before moving on.

Animal Help

Forest animals should live in the wild, not in people’s home or market. Never buy or pay to touch an animal that should be living in the wild, and ask your parents not to support those actions.
