What is wälder?

"Wälder" is a German word that translates to "forests" in English. Germany is one of the most forested countries in Europe with around one-third of the country covered in forests. These forests provide a variety of ecological, economic, and social benefits, including biodiversity conservation, timber production, and recreational opportunities. They are home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, boars, and wolves. The German government has implemented sustainable forest management practices to ensure the preservation of the forests for future generations. Additionally, many German cities and towns have urban forests, which are often used for recreation and leisure activities.
