On 21 March we celebrate World Forest and Tree Day!

Forests and trees play a fundamental role in maintaining environmental balance. They are responsible for sequestering CO2, regulating the climate and conserving biodiversity, as well as providing essential resources that power various economic activities.

On this date, Cluster Habitat Sustentável emphasises the need to protect and restore forests, which are increasingly threatened by illegal exploitation of resources, fires and environmental degradation. Combating the ongoing destruction of these areas helps to combat water scarcity, the intensification of the effects of climate change and the risk of species loss.

 

Adopting responsible practices, promoting the efficient use of natural resources and supporting reforestation initiatives are essential measures for minimising environmental impacts and protecting these ecosystems.
