Form's primary objective is to fight against global warming by protecting and with conservation of the natural environment. Myanmar is chosen as tropical rainforests absorb the greenhouse gas CO2 from atmosphere better than the forests in northern countries. Depletion of rainforests in Myanmar is directly associated with poverty, lack of education, poor health as well as dependence on wood fuel for cooking and heating (in hilly regions). Therefore, FORM decides to tackle all objectives simultaneously to achieve the primary aim.
