UN International Day of Forests

On Thursday 21 March the first UN International Day of Forests will be celebrated. The idea of marking the importance of the world's forests for sustainable development on a designated day each year was proposed during the UN's International Year of Forests in 2011. Activities will be organised around the world on 21 March, at local, national and international level, to raise awareness of the multiple values of the forest.
