The world owes a lot to trees. These powerhouse plants help purify the air, filter water, and make the planet a comfortable place to live. Trees and forests keep Earth and its inhabitants healthy, and that’s why the 2023 International Day of Forests theme is “forests and health.”
In 2012, the United Nations General Assembly established March 21 as the International Day of Forests (IDF). The occasion celebrates forests and raises awareness of their importance. People worldwide spend the day giving back to the planet through activities like tree-planting campaigns.
