Trees are valuable

Drawing by Iris, 11 years old (Iloilo, Philippines)

Poem by Kiersten, 11 years old (Geneva, Switzerland)

We all know that trees help us live

Medicine, food, oxygen and more things they give.

When we cut them down and then replace them with more

It doesn't completely heal, it leaves the forest still sore.

If we replace a tree that's old with a young one,

Then the animal and forest's support gets undone.
