Genetic resources

Forests are the main home of Earth's species. While covering only 6% of the planet's land surface, tropical forests contain at least 50%, possibly 70% and conceivably 90% of all species.

½ km2 of Malaysia's forests can feature as many tree and shrub species as the whole of the United States and Canada, while a single bush in Peruvian Amazonia has revealed as many ant species as in the British Isles.

• Growing more crops and trees per acre leaves more land for Nature

• We cannot choose between malnourished children & saving endangered wild species

• Without higher yields, peasant farmers will destroy the wildlands and species to keep their children from starving

• Sustainably higher yields of crops and trees are the only visible way to safe both
