Raising awareness of the value of nature can be a challenge. To promote natures benefits Just Forests has created an exhibition on the state of the world\u2019s forests. Knowing the state of forests helps us understand the links between development, declining wood species and resulting poverty. <\/p>\n
The \u201cWood of Life\u201d exhibition highlights the urgent need to adopt a value-driven approach for natural resources appreciation and their responsible use, in particular wood resources. The message that the exhibition tries to convey is that everyone in the world depends on nature and ecosystem services which provide the conditions for a decent, healthy, and secure life.<\/p>\n
This engaging and hands-on exhibition helps promote biodiversity among the general public, and in particular youth, through schools visits and teacher training. <\/p>\n
