How Can You Help?
The WWF is one of the many foundations that has been working to protect forests. They have been doing this for more than 50 years. “With a focus on protected areas management and sustainable forestry, WWF works with governments, companies, communities and other stakeholders to promote certification for responsible forest management practices, combat illegal logging, reform trade policies and protect forested areas.”

When purchasing wood for your house make sure it is eco- friendly and commercially renewable. Many companies sell wood from endangered forests. Before purchasing, spend a little bit of time researching the company and where they retriever their wood from.

"If you stop buying wood that comes from forests that are badly managed, or even perhaps that has been illegally produced, then the suppliers of this timber will have no choice but to change as well."
