Time has never been ripe like it is today to talk about our forests. The current drought as a consequence of climate change could have been less severe if our forests were conserved. There is a very strong nexus between the health of humanity and that of forests. Unfortunately, forests continue to be destroyed through human activities.
It is an apt time to create awareness on the importance of conserving our forests and the consequences of our inaction. This year’s International Day of Forests is being marked under the theme “Forests and Health”, which stresses the importance of forests and the forestry sector for human and environmental health.
