Every year, the International Forest Day is observed. Every year on March 21st, it is commemorated. On March 21, 2019, the United Nations commemorated International Forest Day. The importance of forests in environmental protection and food security is highlighted on this day. World Forest Day’s key goal is to raise awareness about forest protection and to improve the environmental management, conservation, and growth of all forms of forests for the benefit of current and future generations.
Indeed, the aim of the day is to teach people how to manage forests and use them sustainably for a variety of purposes. Efforts are made on this day to educate the public about the significance of forests. Modernization and industrialization have culminated in the continual felling of trees, which is wrong. According to a survey, forest areas totaled 7.3 crore acres in 2016.
Forests are being cut down all over the world right now, which is completely unacceptable. Forest cutting is causing endangered plant and animal species to become extinct. However, as the number of trees continues to decline, the issue of global warming worsens, and the environment’s and nature’s equilibrium deteriorates. As a result, the primary aim of commemorating this day is to encourage people to conserve trees and the environment.
