International Year of Forests

The International Year of Forests is a special year that is celebrated to recognize the importance of forests and the many things we get from them. Forests provide us with clean air, water, and food, and also provide habitats for thousands of species of animals and plants. People also use forests for fuel and to make things like paper and furniture. By celebrating the International Year of Forests, we remember how important forests are to us and the world and how we must take care of them for our own benefit.
