UN General Assembly proclaimed 21 March as the International Day of Forests in 2012.
The Day celebrates 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. The theme for each International Day of Forests is chosen by the Collaborative
