Saturday is International Day of Forests! Forests are far more than just trees — they are essential to life on Earth. They support biodiversity, regulate the climate, and provide vital resources for communities worldwide. From fresh air and clean water to nutritious foods and spaces for recreation, forests are key to human well-being. They are also a source of livelihoods and innovation, with many medicines originating from forest plants. Yet forests are under threat from deforestation, degradation and the climate crisis. Each of us can take action to protect and restore forests for current and future generations. — via fao #IntlForestDay
