Hi,



March 21st marks a significant observance: International Day of Forests. The day raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests across the world, for the benefit of current and future generations. 



From the water we drink to the air we breathe, forests are an ecosystem that we all depend on. More than 1 billion people worldwide depend on our forests for their livelihoods. Forests are also critical reserves of biodiversity, providing habitat for many thousands of species.



As the world begins to see the continuing effects of climate change and deforestation, it is vital that restoration efforts are continued and that rural and urban people are empowered to conserve, repair, and restore tree cover to their lands and rebuild local economies.



The Canopy Project improves our shared environment by planting trees across the globe. <[link removed]> Since 2010, EARTHDAY‍.ORG has planted tens of millions of trees with The Canopy Project, working to strengthen communities worldwide.



We work with global partners to reforest areas in dire need of rehabilitation, including areas with some of the world’s communities most at-risk from climate change and environmental degradation.



On this International Day of Forests, join us in leading the charge to reforest our world’s canopy. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the world’s forests have lost about 20% of their coverage. With your help we can begin to reverse the damage that’s been done through industry and deforestation.

In unity,
