World Rainforest Day
June 16, 2026
World Rainforest Day is an annual global observation held on June 22. Launched in 2017 by the Rainforest Partnership, the movement highlights the critical role tropical forests play in stabilizing the climate, preserving biodiversity, and supporting local communities.
Recent successes include:
- Empowering over 100 women across five indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon by supporting sustainable livelihood projects that build economic resilience.
- Protecting 149,500 acres in the Ecuadorian Amazon by supporting indigenous communities’ stewardship of the rainforest and resistance to deforestation.
- Discovering 5 new species in 2024, 10 potential new species, and published manuscripts for an additional 4 new species.
