World Forest Day - Let's go green!!!


For us, forests are essential to our daily existence. Forests are essential to every aspect of our existence, from the books we read to the oxygen we breathe to the homes we construct. In addition to binding soil, they aid in water retention, support the global environment, and—above all—provide us with the oxygen we require to survive. Additionally, the best place to find medicinal plants that can treat a wide range of illnesses is in forests. In other words, woods and trees are essential to human existence. But as a result of overcrowding, industrialization, and time, we have irresponsibly destroyed forests and chopped down trees for our own gain. Both resource depletion and global warming have been exacerbated by this. It is time to accept that this planet is our home and that there isn't another one for us to go to.


Every year, people commemorate World Forestry Day to raise awareness of the value of forests and trees in our daily lives. Here are some things to keep in mind as we prepare to celebrate this year's special day.

Date: march 21st is World Forestry Day each year. The big day falls on a thursday this year.

History: In 1971, the european Confederation of Agriculture's General assembly suggested that we observe a day honoring trees. The United Nations designated march 21 as World Forestry Day because it falls on the same day as the northern and southern hemispheres' respective vernal and autumn equinoxes.

Significance: Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a Better World is this year's subject. Planting trees, teaching people about the value of forests in protecting the environment, and learning about the methods we can promote afforestation are the greatest ways to commemorate the day.
