Organization:


The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 March the International
Day of Forests (IDF) in 2012. The Day celebrates and raises awareness of
the importance of all types of forests.



On each International Day of Forests, countries are encouraged to undertake
local, national and international efforts to organize activities involving
forests and trees, such as tree planting campaigns.



The theme for each International Day of Forests is chosen by the
Collaborative Partnership on Forests. The theme for 2017 is Forests and
Energy.
