\"\"The Sustainable Forestry Initiative celebrates forests every day, but every year on March 21 we join so many others to formally recognize the United Nations International Day of Forests<\/a>. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cForest restoration: a path to recovery and well\u2011being.\u201d SFI\u2019s mission directly supports this theme and the broader UN Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>. SFI-certified forests and products are powerful tools to achieve shared goals such as mitigating climate change, conserving biodiversity, protecting clean water, reducing waste, educating current and future generations, and supporting sustainable economic development that creates jobs and improves lives.<\/p>\n

There are more than 375 million acres\/150 million hectares of forests certified to SFI with tens of millions more positively influenced by SFI fiber sourcing. And every day, SFI-certified organizations plant 2.5 million trees across the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n
