Tropical Forests Mobilizing Science-based Action for Critical Tropical Forest Biomes
Over 1.6 billion people depend on forests for food or fuel, and approximately 70 million people worldwide - including many Indigenous communities - call forests home. Yet, forest biomes around the world are facing critical tipping points as a result of deforestation, degradation, and criminality.
The SDSN works to ensure science-based policymaking and solutions design for critical forest biomes across the world—including the Amazon, the Congo Basin, Borneo, and Southeast Asia—by highlighting science and data-based recommendations and encouraging technological innovation, combined with Indigenous and local knowledge, to guide decision-making and conservation efforts.
