Our Office joins in the celebration of the International Day of Forests which is being celebrated annually every 21st of March. The aim is to raise awareness about the important role of forests in sustaining lives on this planet and serve as a reminder to all of us on why we need forests.
Forests create habitats for various living beings. It provides food, air, fruit, and even medicines. It is one of the important creatures that Allah (SWT) provided for humans and other living creatures.
In BARMM, based on the June 2020 data provided by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, the region’s forest cover is at 45 percent or 299,195 hectares of the region’s total land area of 1,293,552 hectares.
Thus being said, the region’s forest cover must be protected at all times for us to promote a healthier ecosystem, and sustainable and prosperous lives to all Bangsamoro, In shaa Allah.
Happy International Day of Forests! 🌳
