International Day of Forests

The International Day of Forests, the 21st day of March, was established by resolution of the United Nations General Assembly on November 28, 2012.〔("International Day of Forests," ) United Nations General Assembly, November 28, 2012.〕 Each year, various events celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of all types of forests, and trees outside forests, for the benefit of current and future generations.〔(Holmgren, Peter. 2013, March 21. "Sharing positive views about forests and trees on the International Day of Forests," ) CIFOR. Accessed: March 21, 2013.〕 Countries are encouraged to undertake efforts to organize local, national, and international activities involving forests and trees, such as tree planting campaigns, on International Day of Forests. The Secretariat of the United Nations Forum on Forests, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization, facilitates the implementation of such events in collaboration with governments, the Collaborative Partnership on Forests, and international, regional and subregional organizations.〔("International Day of Forests," ) FAO.org. Accessed: March 20, 2015.〕 International Day of Forests was observed for the first time on March 21, 2013.
== Background ==

Each year more than 13 million hectares (32 million acres) of forests are lost, an area roughly the size of England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Reforestation: the easiest way to combat climate change )〕 As go the forests, so go the plant and animal species that they embrace – 80% of all terrestrial biodiversity. Most importantly, forests play a critical role in climate change including global warming: deforestation results in 12-18 percent of the world's carbon emissions – almost equal to all the CO2 from the global transport sector. Equally crucial, healthy forests are one of the world's primary 'carbon sinks.'
Today, forests cover more than 30% of the world's land and contain more than 60,000 tree species, many as of yet unidentified. Forests provide food, fiber, water and medicines for approximately 1.6 billion of the world's poorest people, including indigenous peoples with unique cultures.
