Intact forest landscape

Intact forest landscapes (IFLs) are large areas of unbroken, connected forests that have not been severely impacted by humans. These forests are some of the most important places for wildlife. They are home to a variety of animals, plants, and other living things. They are also crucial for helping keep our air and water clean, and reducing climate change. Because of their importance, it is important to protect IFLs and keep them as untouched as possible.
