International Day of Forests (IDF). 21 March

International Day of Forests (IDF). 21 March is set aside to celebrate and raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. On each International Day of Forests, countries are encouraged to undertake local, national and international efforts to organize activities involving forests and trees, such as tree planting campaigns. Forests play a crucial role in combating climate change. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, helping regulate Earth's delicate climate balance. Protecting and sustainably managing forests is a vital part of ensuring a livable climate for future generations.
