ITTO celebrates the World Wildlife Day (3 March) and the International Day of Forests (21 March)

During the month of March 2014, the international community will commemorate both the World Wildlife Day (March 3) and the International Day of Forests (March 21).

Tropical forests are an important habitat for wildlife (flora and fauna) across the globe. Tropical forests are also a repository of many goods, services and values for humanity, including water, clean air, timber, food, fibers, resins, and scenic beauty, among many others.
