Over 80% of the world’s terrestrial #biodiversity can be found in forests; their destruction threatens the survival of many species.
Forest landscape restoration can help reverse these losses.

"The snapping turtle & its powerful bite are reputed to be able to easily cut off a human finger.
But this is not an animal to be afraid of, their immediate instinct is to get away, take off & hide."🐢
