The International Day of Forests, also known as World Forests Day is celebrated each year on March 21 to raise awareness about the importance of forests and trees for the survival of humanity and the planet.
The history of the International Day of Forests can be traced back to 1971 when the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) established World Forestry Day.
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) proclaimed March 21 as the International Day of Forests in 2012 to celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of all types of forests.
The theme for International Day of Forests changes every year, with the aim of highlighting different aspects of forest conservation and management. The theme for 2023 is 'forests and health.'
