The 21st March is the International Day of Forests. This date was agreed by the UN General Assembly so that every year there would be one day set aside to “celebrate and raise awareness” of forests.
For Greenpeace, every day is a day to celebrate forests. We campaign to protect forests because of the vast range of amazing biodiversity they support, because they capture and contain climate changing greenhouse gases, because they are home to millions of people and - last but not least - because without healthy thriving forests, planet Earth cannot sustain life.
