21 March 2025 - International Day of Forests 2025

Saturday, February 15 , 2025 169

     In 2025, forests and foods is the theme for the International Day of Forests. We will celebrate the crucial roles of forests in food security, nutrition and livelihoods. In addition to providing food, fuel, income and employment, forests support soil fertility, protect water resources, and offer habitats for biodiversity, including vital pollinators. They are essential for the survival of forest-dependent communities, particularly Indigenous Peoples, and contribute to climate change mitigation by storing carbon.

• Enter the Forest and Foods photo contest.
• Share the video, forest fact animations, logo and banners - available in multiple languages. Check out the International Day of Forest social media kit for more resources.
• Join the conversation on social media using the #ForestDay hashtag. Pass on some of this year's key messages or take a photo of your favourite forest and share online.
• Organize or join events celebrating forests: tree plantings, symposiums, art exhibitions, photo competitions or host a student debate.
