“Forests and people are intertwined. Humans rely on forests for their basic needs: clean air, food, water, and raw materials for medicine, shelter and clothing.” This was stressed by Dr. Theresa Mundita S. Lim, Executive Director of the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity, on the occasion of the International Day of Forests on 21 March. The annual celebration emphasizes the importance of all types of forests and trees in the world.
