Forests generate priceless benefits for the planet: capturing carbon, generating rain and supplying food, medicine, wood and countless other products. But neglected forests can quickly turn into liabilities. From escalating wildfire to exacerbated droughts, we’re already starting to see a shift around the globe. The question is: Will it trigger action? go.wri.org/forests-assets…

Massive wildfires 🔥🔥 are quickly spreading across the Los Angeles area, fueled by a lack of rainfall, and strong and dry winds across the Southern California region. #ForestFires have become increasingly devastating for #California over the past two decades, and they are not an isolated event. Climate change is making wildfires more frequent and intense, resulting in larger forest fires worldwide. More data from @globalforests on why forest fires are getting worse▶ gfw.global/3SOwmPE
