Each year on March 21st, the International Day of Forests celebrates and raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests.
In November 1971, during the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization, member states voted to establish World Forestry Day to be held on March 21st of each year. From 2007 to 2012, the Center for International Forestry Research convened a series of six Forest Days. These days were held in conjunction with annual meetings on climate change. On November 28, 2012, the United Nations General Assembly established the International Day of Forests. The first event was held on March 21st, 2013.
The theme of the International Day of Forests for 2021 is "Forest restoration: a path to recovery and well-being."
