This day was founded in 2017 by Rainforest Partnership, to celebrate the importance of healthy, standing rainforests for climate, biodiversity, culture and livelihoods, and convenues a global movement to protect and restore them. A summit was launched in 2021, bringing together people and organisations from all sectors and around the world for dialogue and community building with one shared purpose – to spark action and drive resilient forest protection.
