Forests are important because they remove Carbon Dioxide (CO2) (a greenhouse gas causing global warming) from the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle. Forests will also remove the carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) if there are enough forests. Unfortunately, we are still cutting them down!
