Amazon Rainforest Day
The first World Rainforest Day was launched on June 22nd, 2017 by Rainforest Partnership as a collaborative effort to raise awareness and encourage action to protect the world’s rainforests. Rainforest Partnership is dedicated to protecting and regenerating tropical rainforests through community-based projects in the Amazon. After the United States pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement, Rainforest Partnership felt compelled to raise greater awareness of the role of rainforests in stabilizing our changing climate.
