What lies in the forest between the trees? See for yourself what dangers lie ahead and how we're working to save forests both near and far.



Home to around two-thirds of all plant and animal species found on land in addition to millions of people who depend on them for survival, our remaining ancient forests are some of the most diverse ecosystems known to science. They are also vitally important to the health of our planet, especially when it comes to regulating the climate.

But ancient forests around the world are under attack. We need your help to protect what forests remain.



Greenpeace and countless activists have asked Kimberly-Clark (K-C) to help save the Boreal forest since 2004, when the Kleercut campaign was launched. In a tremendous victory for ancient forests, including the Boreal, the company that makes popular brands like Kleenex, Scott, and Cottonelle has announced a new policy that places it among the industry leaders in sustainability, bringing the Kleercut campaign to a successful completion.
Take Action! Thank K-C for helping protect ancient forests

Big polluters do not want to invest in green jobs and clean skies in America. Instead, they want to keep on with their dirty business as usual and outsource pollution cuts to someone else on the cheap. One of the primary ways they are trying to pass the buck is with cheap forest offsets.
