Today is International Day of Forests. We as human beings will never live without forests. But due to the growth of population, the demand of household needs we are forgetting to save forests for us and generating next.
Forests are the lifelines of our planet, providing oxygen, food, medicine, and livelihoods to millions. Beyond their ecological significance, forests are pillars of global food security, offering essential resources such as fruits, seeds, roots, and wild meat, which support indigenous and rural communities.
Every year on 21 March, the world celebrates the International Day of Forests to celebrate all types of forests, recognize the importance of trees and forests, and take action to protect them.
In year 2012, the United Nations declared 21 March as the International Day of Forests (IDF) to celebrate and raise awareness about the vital role of forests.
Every year a new theme is chosen by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests. The theme for this year is “Forests and Food,” which emphasizes the deep connection between forests and global food security.
In India forests are deeply intertwined with culture, economy, and biodiversity, and their protection is not just an environmental necessity but a fundamental responsibility.
In this direction, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and related ministries of Government of India have launched various schemes that link forests to food security, nutrition, and livelihoods.
To save the forests Government of India encourage with different schemes like National Agroforestry Scheme, Green India Mission, Forest Fire Prevention & Management Scheme, Van Dhan Yojana etc.
On this special day NewzVille appeals you to grow more trees and to save the environment and forests for preserving vital resources for future generations.
