New research by WWF shows that almost two-thirds of the world's original forest
cover has been lost - and of what remains, 94% is unprotected. WWF is committed
to halting and reversing this continuing degradation through the work of its International
Forest Unit and Forests for Life Campaign. Together with WWF national offices around
the world, WWF is running more than 300 forest projects in over 60 countries.
This is the second of WWF's Annual Forest Reports which looks at progress made in forest
conservation by WWF and its partners during 1997.
