Today, on the International Day of Forests, IIRR joins the global community in recognizing the vital role that forests play in sustaining our planet and nourishing communities. This year’s theme, "Forests and Food," highlights how forests provide not only environmental benefits but also essential resources for food security and livelihoods. At IIRR, we work alongside rural communities to promote sustainable livelihoods that protect and restore forest ecosystems. From supporting agroforestry initiatives to empowering indigenous communities in managing forest resources, our efforts ensure that both people and nature thrive. Why it matters: 🌱 Forests provide food security — offering fruits, nuts, and medicinal plants. 🌾 Sustainable forest management strengthens resilience against climate shocks. 👩🏾‍🌾 Community-led conservation safeguards biodiversity and traditional knowledge. Protecting forests is not just an environmental mission — it’s a commitment to the well-being of rural communities who rely on them. By working to protect forests worldwide, we ensure healthier ecosystems, healthier food systems, stronger rural economies, and more resilient communities. Let’s continue working together to create a sustainable future where both people and forests thrive. #InternationalDayOfForests #ForestsAndFood #SustainableAgriculture #Agroforestry #IIRR #FoodSecurity #ClimateResilience (fb)
