It’s the International Day of Forests (IDF) on 21 March and the theme this year is FORESTS AND BIODIVERSITY.



Did you know that forests are home to about 80% of the world’s land animals and plants? From rainforest ants to tiny tree frogs, mountain gorillas to green anacondas, towering coast redwoods to mountain ash trees, our forests are teeming with life. This extraordinary biodiversity helps forests adapt and survive in the face of pressures such as climate change, wildfire and pests and diseases, as well as providing many benefits to people including food, shelter, medicine, energy and income.



FAO PHOTO CONTEST: Capture extraordinary and unusual forest plants or animals with your camera! To help mark the day FAO is asking you to take photos of extraordinary forest plants or animals in the IDF 2020 photo contest. The deadline for entry is March 11.
