National Arbor Day is observed in Bolivia every October 1. Established in 1995, the day aims to address the critical issue of deforestation in the country. Bolivia was one of the first nations to certify its forests, ensuring that every tree cut down and log exported is closely supervised by the government, as forests are a vital natural resource. Despite these efforts, illegal logging and land clearing for agriculture continue to threaten the tropical forests, placing Bolivia among the top ten countries facing deforestation challenges. On National Arbor Day, the government encourages citizens to plant trees and promotes forest conservation through its certification process, highlighting the importance of protecting the environment.
