Summary 2000 years ago, forests covered almost the whole landmass of the world. The loss of these forests is one of the most profound changes on our planet. Our forests are more than green oases. They allow water to evaporate and ascend, as if gravity was turned upside down. Each forest is like a gigantic sponge - from the canopy to the forest soil. Forests are the biggest fresh water reservoirs of the world - for everything in the forest is set out to save water for bad times. In a perfectly working system from the roots to the very top of the trees, each forest is a gigantic "water bucket" in a global chain of pumping stations. Forests pump the water vapor of the seas inland, and are our major allies in the fight against climate change.
