Days of Celebration

March 21 – International Day of Forests – Forest sustainable management and their use of resources are key to combating climate change, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet despite all these priceless ecological, economic, social and health benefits, global deforestation continues at an alarming rate. It is vital to consume and produce wood in a more environmentally friendly way for the planet and its inhabitants. Let’s protect this easily renewable resource with a sustainably managed forest.  https://www.un.org/en/observances/forests-and-trees-day?bblinkid=259081388&bbemailid=38897197&bbejrid=-1998919784
