Día Internacional de los Bosques 2026: Bosques y economías — los bosques son un buen negocio.
February 23, 2026

Forests are crucial for global economies and millions of livelihoods. They generate employment, income, and support communities, from local producers to global value chains. Beyond this, forests contribute trillions to the world economy through essential ecosystem services like water, climate, and soil regulation, as well as ecotourism, energy, and raw materials.
