It aims to remind people of the significance of forests and trees in our lives.
The idea of World Forestry Day was proposed in 1971 by the General Assembly of the European Confederation of Agriculture.
March 21 was chosen by the United Nations as it aligns with the Vernal Equinox and Autumn Equinox in the northern and southern hemispheres, respectively.
The theme for this year is - Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a Better World.
