World Rainforest Day Jun 22, 2026

World Rainforest Day

June 22 is World Rainforest Day, a global moment and a year-round call to protect the world"s remaining rainforests. These ecosystems aren"t just dots on the map. They thrive across the tropics and beyond yet cover only about 6% of Earth"s surface. Think of the Amazon in South America, the Congo Basin in Africa, and the forests of Southeast Asia.
