Not to mention, their conservation is also vital to the preservation of the environment and the habitats of those animals and plant species that live there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it seems like lately protecting forests has not been made the priority it should be. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/treefoundation.org\/education\/forest-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TREE Foundation<\/a>, forests used to cover 48 percent of all land on Earth. Now, the organization notes that half of these forests are no longer here and only one-fifth of the Earth\u2019s original forests remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why funding initiatives pertaining to conservation, preservation, and education should be a top priority. For this reason, <a href=\"http:\/\/grantwatch.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch<\/a> has decided to share seven forestry-related grants.
