Every year on 21 March the World Day of Forests is observed in order to recognise the most varied types of forests and to raise awareness of their importance in forest life.
It aims to increase the public’s awareness of the values, importance, and involvement of forests in balancing life cycles for individuals within the communities.
The United Nations General Assembly declared March 21 as International Forest Day in 2012 in order to raise awareness of the value of the whole range of forests.
Forests with their network of tree roots and their transpiration process play a central role in exerting an influence on weather patterns, in particular on rainfall.
