Happy International Day of Forests! 🌲 Today, we celebrate the invaluable role that forests play in sustaining life on our planet. This year's theme is Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a Better World. Forests provide essential ecosystem services, from purifying the air we breathe to regulating the climate and supporting biodiversity. However, they are facing unprecedented threats from deforestation, degradation, and climate change. As individuals and organizations, we can drive change by taking action to protect and restore forests: 🌳 Plant trees and support reforestation efforts in your community. 🌿 Advocate for policies that promote sustainable forest management and conservation. 🌍 Reduce your carbon footprint by adopting eco-friendly practices and supporting sustainable products. 🌱 Educate others about the importance of forests and the need for collective action to safeguard them. Together, let's commit to protecting and restoring our forests for a healthier, more resilient planet. Happy International Day of Forests! 🌳🌍 #IntlForestDay #ForestRestoration #SustainableFuture"

HAPPY WORLD FOREST DAY World Forest Day, also known as the International Day of Forests, is observed annually on March 21st. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 to raise awareness about the importance of forests and trees, and to promote the sustainable management, conservation, and development of all types of forests for the benefit of current and future generations. As we celebrate this year's World Forest Day, let's reflect on the crucial role that the forests play in maintaining the balance of ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, combating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, providing habitats for various species, and offering resources and livelihoods for millions of people around the world. #GreenUpToCoolDown #NatureBasedSolutions #ClimateChange #WorldForestDay #MinistryOfGreenEconomyAndEnvironment

You can help combat climate change, protect biodiversity, and support Indigenous communities without leaving your comfy chair. FSC-certified forests preserve habitats for vulnerable species like cheetahs, caribou, and brown bears. They also contribute to biodiversity and capture carbon. They put people and forests first. It's crucial to consider the source of the products you buy, from furniture to sporting goods. Look for the tree, the FSC logo, to make informed and responsible choices. Be an agent of change with your wallet. For a deeper dive, check out their website: fsc.org. #itcomesfromtrees #climatechange #biodiversity #stewardship

Today is International Day of Forests. So, let's take a moment to appreciate the vital role that forests play in sustaining life on Earth. The battle against deforestation is still ongoing, with 10 million hectares of forest being destroyed every year (roughly the size of Portugal), and approximately 70 million hectares affected by wildfires. (Source: UN) At Qonto, we understand that we all have a part to play in building a more sustainable planet. So, alongside our initiatives aimed at reducing our carbon footprint, we run quarterly climate workshops focused on increasing our collective intelligence around the climate crisis and giving Qontoers the tools they need to act. Today, let's take action to protect and restore our forests. Whether it's planting a tree, switching to sustainably sourced paper and card, or supporting forest conservation efforts. No matter how small, every action sows the seeds of a greener tomorrow. #ForestDay #3BillionTrees

Stand with Your Green Action to protect our precious forests! 🌲 Over 1.6 billion people depend on forests. However, it's saddening to see that we are losing forests at an alarming rate, with 10 million hectares destroyed every year globally. 😥 Forests help regulate the climate, provide a habitat for diverse wildlife, and offer us clean air to breathe. By protecting forests, we are not only safeguarding biodiversity, but also supporting sustainable jobs for communities around the globe. 🌿🌏 Let's join hands to stop deforestation and ensure a greener, healthier world for all!🌳💚 #YourGreenAction #YGA #SustainableLifestyle #EcoFriendlyTips #ActNow #SustainableFuture #InvolveEveryone #WangTangangFoundation #ForestConservation #ClimateAction
