Description: This excellent website dedicated to the Southern Forests of the United States "seeks to raise awareness of the threats facing the forests of the southern United States and lay the foundation for increasing the acreage that is conserved or managed in a sustainable manner." First time visitors should watch the very informative four-and-a-half minute video titled "Tour Southern Forests" in the "Gallery" section of the website, as it explains the importance of these forests to humans and animals, the native bio-diversity of the forests, and their history. Additionally, the video explains that the future of these forests is in peril, mainly from suburbanization, but also from pests and diseases, mining, and climate change. The "Solutions" tab on the homepage allows visitors to see the solutions necessary to help conserve and mange the forests, which include the sections "Protected Areas", "Southern Forest Ownership", and "Ensuring Southern Forests for the Future".
