World Rainforest Day is celebrated annually on 22 June to honour and promote the world's rainforests.
Rainforests are a source of many resources like fresh water and clean air as they absorb harmful gases including carbon dioxide, thus playing an important role in maintaining a climate balance.
World Rainforest Day was marked for the first time on 22 June 2017.
The theme for this year is 'The Time is Now'.
Rainforests host some of the most diverse flora and fauna in the world. Despite covering just 6% of the earth’s surface, rainforests are home to around 50 per cent of all terrestrial biodiversity.
