21 March 2016 International Day of Forests: celebrating forests and water
Tuesday, March 08 , 2016 6850
Every year on the International Day of Forests, we celebrate the ways in which forests and trees sustain and protect us.
This year we are raising awareness of how forests are key to the planet’s supply of freshwater, which is essential for life.
Did you know?:
- Forested watersheds and wetlands supply 75 percent of the world’s accessible freshwater
- About one-third of the world’s largest cities obtain a significant proportion of their drinking water directly from forested protected areas
- Forests act as natural water filters
- Climate change is influencing the availability of water resources
UEF invites you to join all foresters and forest organization and celebrate this International Day of Forests.
