World forest day


The United Nations observes March 21 as the International Day of Forests, commemorating the green cover around the world and reiterating its importance.

Forest sustainable management and their use of resources are key to combating climate change and contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Yet despite all these priceless ecological, economic, social, and health benefits, global deforestation continues at an alarming rate.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FORESTS 2022: THEME

The restoration and sustainable management of forests can help in addressing the issues related to climate change and biodiversity. It also carries the potential to produce goods and services for sustainable development, fostering an economic activity that creates jobs and improves lives.
