♦ World Rainforest Day is observed every year on June 22  to highlight the crucial role of these essential ecosystems in stabilising the Earth’s climate and maintaining its biodiversity.

♦ World Rainforest Day is a relatively new global celebration.

♦ It was conceived by the Rainforest Partnership, a US-based non-profit environmental organisation, in 2017.

♦ The core idea of the platform is to celebrate healthy and standing rainforests for all their contributions in the sustenance of humanity.
