🌳 International Day of Forests 🌳
Today, we celebrate the invaluable role forests play as pillars of global food security and nutrition. 🌱🌍
Forests are not just lush landscapes; they are the livelihoods of millions, providing essential foods such as fruits, seeds, roots, and wild meat—fundamental resources for indigenous and rural communities. But their benefits extend far beyond nourishment.
🌲 However, these ecosystems are under threat. We lose 10 million hectares each year due to deforestation, and around 70 million hectares are affected by fires. Protecting and restoring our forests is not just beneficial; it is a necessity for the well-being of our planet and future generations.
Join us in advocating for forest preservation and restoration. Together, we can ensure that these vital ecosystems continue to sustain our communities and our planet! 🌳❤
