Big Brands Help Protect Forests in WWF’s Global Project
Story 3
Four years after starting the Forests Forward programme, WWF says big companies are making a real difference for the planet.
Brands like Nike, HP, PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble are helping protect forests as big as Switzerland—over 10 million acres worldwide.
Since many forests are used for business, companies have a big role to play in stopping deforestation.
Some of the forest areas are already certified as well-managed, while others are being restored or protected.
WWF says the project shows that taking care of forests is not only good for nature, but also a smart move for businesses.
