Why we need healthy forests for healthy people
The world’s forests are precious and delicate ecosystems that give humanity so much. We should work together to protect and treasure our forests.
The latest news on the environment, as well as its definition, and on the protection and safeguarding of nature. Here you can find stories from the world of environmental and sustainable education as well as updates and in-depth articles on key themes: the conservation of precious ecosystems such as forests and oceans; the protection of natural resources, including water as well as plant and animal biodiversity; the devastating impacts of pollution; the importance of making more conscientious choices to defend our planet, as well as engaging in or supporting environmental activism; and on the most important phenomenon of our time – global warming and its consequences, i.e. the climate crisis. World Environment Day, established by the United Nations in 1972, is held every year on 5 June. The date was chosen to mark the first major global summit dedicated to this theme: the Stockholm Conference, from which the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) emerged. The international day aims to promote awareness about environmental issues and promote practices capable of having an exponentially positive impact of the planet.
