Arbor Day in Peru is observed every September 1 to promote the importance of trees for the ecosystem and encourage reforestation efforts. This day highlights the significant role of forests, particularly the Amazonian rainforest, which covers about 66% of Peru's land area and is known for its biodiversity. The celebration serves as a reflection on the benefits of forest resources, such as carbon dioxide absorption, climate moderation, and erosion reduction. On Arbor Day, municipalities in Peru launch afforestation campaigns to combat deforestation, which is driven by factors like illegal logging and land development. Educational events and awareness campaigns are also organized in schools across the country to further emphasize the importance of forest conservation.
