    Seriez-vous prêt à faire un don pour sauver une forêt ?

    Si les forêts sont au cœur de la biodiversité, les spécialistes alertent sur leur disparition. Ainsi en France, l’Office national des forêts a créé un fonds pour les préserver. En cette journée internationale des forêts, seriez-vous prêts à faire un don pour les sauver ? Selon les chiffres de l'Organisation pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture, la déforestation sur la planète représentait 10,9 millions d’hectares par an entre 2015 et 2025. Si ce chiffre était en baisse (17,6 millions d’hectares par an entre 1990 et 2000), elles restent encore bien menacées. Et la France n'est pas en reste, notamment avec le changement climatique. Les feux de forêts ont ainsi ravagé 12 300 hectares en 2024, d'après Oxfam. Comme tout le reste de l'année, mais encore plus en cette journée internationale des forêts, samedi 21 mars, les spécialistes rappellent leur utilité : elles régulent le climat, filtrent l’eau et stockent le carbone notamment. Auprès de RCF, le biologiste Julien Perrot, fondateur de La Salamandre, a insisté : "La forêt, c’est un peu une des sources de notre vie. Notre avenir dépend largement aujourd’hui de la bonne santé des écosystèmes". Un fonds mis en place depuis 2019 Si la surface forestière a tout de même progressé en France, Mickaël Ricordel, chef de projet environnement à l’Office national des forêts (ONF), a pointé un autre problème : "Nous avons un doublement de la mortalité des arbres ces dix dernières années". En cause : les effets du changement climatique, des sécheresses et des parasites. Ainsi, depuis 2019, l'ONF a mis en place un fonds de dotation qui a "pour vocation de financer des projets d’intérêt général dans les forêts publiques françaises : protection et mise en valeur de la forêt publique, préservation de la biodiversité, adaptation des forêts au changement climatique".
