World Rainforest Day Digital Toolkit available here!
A collaborative effort to raise awareness and encourage action to save one of Earth's
most precious resources, our rainforests.
Three consecutive days of advocacy, inspiration and reflection in commemoration of 2021 World Rainforest Day.
We are preparing an agenda packed with interactive events, online workshops and resources created by our partners, celebrating collaboration, real action and long-lasting impact.
Rainforests are vital for the survival of life on Earth. They absorb our carbon dioxide, stabilize climate patterns, and are home to half the world’s plant and animal species.
Yet every minute, we lose 40 football fields of rainforests, which threatens our biodiversity and imperils our planet’s health. Deforestation causes 15% of global carbon dioxide emissions that accelerate climate change—more than from all cars in the U.S. and China combined. Natural climate solutions like protecting and restoring forests, however, could reverse global emissions by a third.
World Rainforest Day celebrates this precious natural resource and encourages action to preserve it. Your efforts, together with the actions of others, will have a positive impact on rainforests and the climate worldwide.
Do something today to help save the rainforests. Share how you’re helping to save the world’s rainforests with #WorldRainforestDay.
