On April 22, we celebrate the next Earth Day. People of all nationalities and backgrounds will voice their appreciation for the planet and demand its protection. Eduardo Rojas–Briales, the FAO Assistant Director-General (Forestry Department), outlines the strategy of the UN in the vital area of forest resources management. In view of the Rio +20 Conference, Mr Rojas calls on Governments to give a key role to forest policies in future plans. He also calls on people around the world: keep planting, maintaining and preserving forests for mankind and the environment.
