A rapidly growing world population increases the demand for forest products. After oil and gas, timber, fuel and other wood products rank third on the global market. The pressure on natural forests keeps raising leading to high rates of forest loss due to deforestation and forest degradation. These processes release substantial amounts of carbon dioxide, the most common of greenhouse gases, into the atmosphere and further contribute to climate change.  Corporacion Aldea Global addresses these challenges by developing and implementing better alternatives for wood production and consumption that combat climate change.
