The environment on which we all depend is under threat from growing levels of greenhouse gas emissions; biodiversity loss and acidifying oceans. Environmental threats such as climate change; land degradation; deforestation; biodiversity loss; air and water pollution and natural disasters affect everyone; but they hurt poor countries and poor communities most. We have an obligation to protect our planet for the sake of future generations and to safeguard today’s hard-won development gains. Hence; a clean and safe environment should be seen as a right; not a privilege. Forest cover one-third of the earth’s land surface and their conservation and sustainable management are essential for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals; combating climate change and its impacts; ecosystem management and in reducing environmental disasters. The book suggests that people-centric forest management can ensure food and water security; eradication of poverty and hunger; affordable energy and shelter; medicinal plants for health and nutrition; jobs and economy to vulnerable indigenous peoples and tourism and recreation facilities for all people.
