About 30% of the global total land area is covered by forests, these amounts to just under 40 million km2. About 1% of forests are consumed by fire each year, causing casualties, economic damage, and loss of biodiversity and release of carbon to the atmosphere. Forests influence climate change mainly by affecting the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. When forests grow, carbon is removed from the atmosphere and absorbed in wood, leaves and soil. :o
