🔍 This #InternationalForestsDay, find out how the development of #Bolivia’s #biodiesel industry could impact the nation's #forests:
🧵4/4
🏙️ In #urban populations, #forests near #cities help reduce stress, dampen noise & absorb #pollution from industries, among other benefits.
🌲These are just a few of the reasons it is so important to protect them from #deforestation, #forest #fires, #droughts & land-use changes.

⚕️According to @fao, #forests help physical & #mentalhealth by:
🌳 Supporting proper #nutrition by providing #food
🌳 Providing #fuel to heat homes, thus preventing illness from the cold
🌳 Plus, their #medicinal #plants are an important part of traditional #healthcare systems

🐸 Happy #WorldFrogDay!
Did you know #LatinAmerica is home to 2,500+ species of #frogs, many of which are #endangered?
Frogs play a crucial role in our #ecosystem, helping to control #insect populations & serving as important indicators of #environmental health.
However, #habitat loss, #climatechange, and the illegal #pet trade are all major threats to their survival.
Let's pledge to do our part to protect these vital creatures and their #habitats.
🌿From #electricity & #water use to #deforestation & habitat fragmentation, Argentina's cannabis industry poses several threats to the environment.
But, #carbon #sequestration & carbon-negative #biomaterials provide #environmental benefits.
