Today, 21 March, has been declared by the UN Forest and Agriculture Organization as International Day of Forests. We celebrate the ways in which forests and trees sustain and protect us.
Sustain and protect . . . how?
“They purify the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, prevent erosion, and act as an important buffer against climate change. Forests offer a home to much of the world's diverse array of plants and animals and provide essential natural resources from timber and food to medicinal plants.” (World Wildlife Fund Inc.)
Together, we must guard against any form of deforestation. We need to tend and watch over God's creation.
