森林多美好呀！ Woodn't it be nice

国际森林日

今天是国际森林日，让我们走出家门，扎根林地吧！森林是地球上重要的生态系统之一，为了提高人们对保护森林和欣赏森林景观的意识，就在11年前的今天，联合国设立了国际森林日。据悉，世界各地的林地占地球陆地面积的30%以上，林地中的树木种类繁多，令人难以置信，据估计，全球共有超6万种不同种类的树。森林在提供食物、水和药物等基础资源方面发挥着至关重要的作用。今天的图片展示的是乌干达的布恩迪国家公园，这里有160种树木和100种蕨类植物，以及世界上50%的山地大猩猩种群。森林中的树木之间还生长着茂密的竹林，导致人们在这片森林中寸步难行，因此布恩迪国家公园又名“难以穿越的森林”。

International Day of Forests

Today we're rooting for woodlands worldwide as we celebrate the International Day of Forests. Established by the UN 11 years ago, the day draws attention to the need to preserve these essential ecosystems, which supply food, water, medicines, and other resources. Covering over 30% of land on Earth, it is thought that woodlands around the world contain more than 60,000 tree species. Featured here is the Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest in Uganda, which is home to 160 species of trees and 100 species of ferns, as well as an extraordinary 50% of the world's mountain gorilla population. The forest has thickets of bamboo growing between the trees, making access on foot difficult, giving the Impenetrable Forest its name.
