International Day of Forests 2025

Today is the International Day of Forests, a day to celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of forests. This year’s theme is Forests & Foods which celebrates the crucial role of forests in food security, nutrition and livelihoods. Mkushi’s forests provide many nutritious foods including mushrooms, honey, forest fruits and caterpillars. They also protect our water resources, perpetuate the rain cycle, build fertile soils and provide habitats for vital pollinators, all ecosystem services that are critical to ensuring food security in Mkushi and the nation. Join us in celebrating Zambia’s forests today!
