| الملخص: | The International Year of Forests, 2011. The United Nations General Assembly declared 2011 the International Year of Forests to promote awareness of sustainable forest management of all types of forests. Throughout the year, governments, the United Nations system, relevant nongovernmental organizations, the private sector and other stakeholders came together to hold thousands of events - from art, photo and film exhibits and contests to concerts and community tree plantings - creating a richly diverse calendar which showcased forest issues, from cultural and educational to scientific and policy perspectives. The theme of the year was 'Forests for People', to celebrate the people, from all walks of life, who take action every day for forests around the world. The International Year offered a unique opportunity to raise public awareness regarding the challenges facing many of the world's forests and those who depend on them.
