World Forest Day 2023 theme is "Healthy forest for healthy people"
The United Nations Forum on Forests, as well as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with governments and forest partners, have chosen this year's commemoration to be entitled "Forests and Health."
International Forest Day is celebrated every year on March 21 with the aim of raising awareness about the values, significance, and contributions of the forests in maintaining the balance between ecosystems on earth. Various organizations, private and government, come together to enlighten the public about forests and the many benefits of trees.
We will present some facts and studies about forests in this article.
Khaled Noureddine, Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Menoufia (Delta Nile, Egypt), admires this theme chosen for this year's celebration, telling Al Ain News that "This axis is a reminder that forests have a role in our health; they clean the air, store carbon to fight climate change, and make food, water, and medicine available."
He added: "Studies indicate, for example, that a tree with a diameter of 10 meters can save more than 300 liters of water a day in the form of vapor, releasing it into the atmosphere—because of that, the Amazon forests got the term "flying rivers."?
Other studies, carried out by ABC University in S?o Paulo, Brazil, suggest that the use of the so-called "cat claw", a plant native to the Amazon forest, is not only used to treat arthritis and bones but can also be used to reduce fatigue and improve the quality of life of cancer patients in advanced stages.?
Besides these benefits, all of which are related to "human health," there is another benefit of a psychological dimension referred to by Mahmoud Shawkat, a psychiatrist at the Egyptian Ministry of Health, namely that visiting forests is useful for mental health.
According to Shawkat, studies have demonstrated the benefit of visiting forests in reducing blood pressure, pulse rate, and stress hormones, and forests contribute to children's mental and social development.
A study of 43,000 households across 27 countries in Africa found that the dietary diversity of children exposed to forests was at least 25% higher than that of children who were not.
The total number of plant species used for medicinal purposes could be as high as 50,000.
And here are some of the world's biggest and oldest forests:
1- Amazon forests (South America)
2- Northern Forests (Russia-Canada)
3- Congo Basin Forests (Africa)?
4- "Rainforest" forests (Indonesia)
5- Andean Patagonian Forest (South America)?
The world is losing 10 million hectares of forest each year due to deforestation—about the size of Iceland—and insects damage around 35 million hectares of forest annually.?
The world faces a major challenge in preserving the forests, which are disappearing at an alarming rate.?
And now, tell us what you would suggest practically and scientifically to keep forests from being destroyed.?
