World Bamboo Day 2021. A Message from World Bamboo Ambassadors
It is estimated that there are more than two billion hectares - that is nearly 5 billion acres - of deforested and degraded land around the world. We've heard about planting trees, yes, but it is time to plant bamboo. Bamboo is resilient & adaptable - with immense biodiversity. Bamboo can restore degraded land, mitigate climate change and alleviate poverty. It is time to plant bamboo.
