International Day of Forests celebrates and raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests.
The theme for 2025 is “Celebrating Forests and Foods”.
Forests have crucial roles of forests in food security, nutrition and livelihoods. In addition to providing food, fuel, income and employment, forests support soil fertility, protect water resources, and offer habitats for biodiversity, including vital pollinators. They are essential for the survival of forest-dependent communities, particularly Indigenous Peoples, and contribute to climate change mitigation by storing carbon.
