![]() International Day of Forests HistoryInternational Day of Forests seeks to celebrate forests while providing a platform to raise awareness for the importance of trees. This day also raises awareness of the effects of rapid deforestation. It further seeks to educate the public about the vital role that forests and trees play in sustaining and protecting humans. According to the World Bank: Forested watersheds and wetlands supply 75 percent of the world’s accessible fresh water for domestic, agricultural, industrial and ecological use. They further act as as natural filters for air. International Day of Forests was declared in December 2012 by the United Nations General Assembly in an effort to promote the importance of forests to humans and aid in conservation efforts. International Day of Forests is observed annually on March 21st. Since then, International Forest Day has become one of the most influential global events advocating for forest conservation in the world. Top Tweets for International Day of Forests -
