Our Vision: For Humanity to become a mature steward and responsible
caretaker of forests and worldwide ecosystems. Earth's summer of 2025 was the third warmest in recorded history behind 2023 and 2024.
We are in the Founding phase of a nonprofit organization. If you are a passionate ecology professional interested in forestry... join us and become a Founder.
We are also looking for K-12 student stories, photography, and projects.
Also we are recruiting University students to become the first Young Founders Group and form the University Chapter.
JBS, the world's largest meat processor, is working to track 100% of its cattle in Brazil to reduce deforestation.
Traceability initiatives and challenges
Targeted efforts: JBS announced a US$9 million investment to support mandatory traceability in the state of Pará, aiming to have 100% of the state's cattle tagged from birth to slaughter by 2026. This is part of a broader effort to ensure compliance with socio-environmental criteria by its suppliers.
Indirect supplier gaps: A major challenge is tracing cattle from indirect suppliers, which are the second-tier suppliers not directly contracting with JBS. Investigations by organizations such as Global Witness and Human Rights Watch have uncovered evidence of cattle from deforested land entering JBS's supply chain through these indirect routes, often referred to as "cattle laundering."
Company response: JBS has stated that it has a "zero tolerance deforestation" policy and has cut ties with non-compliant ranchers. The company has also called for a national traceability system, while simultaneously implementing its own "Cowbot app" to allow users to check supplier compliance with socio-environmental criteria.
Amazon rainforest contains more than half of the world's remaining rainforests. It is the largest tropical rainforest on Earth. Specifically, it represents over half of the planet's remaining tropical forests.
Asian Forest cover approximately 15% of the world's forests. This is equivalent to around 670 million hectares. While Asia is the largest continent, it has a relatively smaller percentage of the world's forest.
Boreal forests contain approximately 32% of the world's forests. Boreal forests, also known as Taiga, form a ring around the Northern Hemisphere including parts of North America, Europe and Asia. Russia contains approximately 73% of the world's boreal forest, which covers about 29% of the world's total forest cover.
Europe contains approximately 25% of the world's forests. This includes the vast forests of Russia, which account for the majority of Europe's forest cover.
Latin America contains 23% of the world's forest. The Amazon rainforest makes up approximately 40%, of the total forest area in Latin America. This includes 57% of the world's primary forests.
Oceania contains approximately 5% of the world's forests. Specifically, Oceania's forests amount to roughly 197,623,000 hectares, representing 5% of the global forest area of 3,869,455,000 hectares.

January had not been expected to set a new record because of cool waters in the Eastern Pacific from a weak La Niña event.
The first month of 2025 was Earth’s warmest January in analyses of global weather data going back to 1850, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, or NCEI, reported Feb. 12. NASA also rated January 2025 as the warmest January on record, 1.59 degrees Celsius (2.86 °F) above the 1880-1899 period, which is its best estimate for when preindustrial temperatures occurred. This beat the previous record from January 2024 by 0.12 degrees Celsius (0.22 °F). The European Copernicus Climate Change Service and Berkeley Earth also rated January 2025 as the warmest January on record.
Global land areas had their warmest January on record in 2025, and global oceans had their second-warmest January, according to NOAA. Oceana had its second-warmest January; Europe and Asia had their third-warmest January; South America, its fourth-warmest; Africa its fifth-warmest; and North America, its 10th-warmest. Update below, first five months.
