Kyiv • UNN

Today, on March 21, everyone who cares about the ecological state of our planet can join the International Day of Forests, UNN writes.
The event was launched in 2012 at the initiative of the United Nations.
Scientists estimate that every year 10 million hectares of forests on Earth are deforested, and another 70 million hectares are destroyed by forest fires.
The purpose of the International Day of Forests is to raise awareness of the value of trees and forests, to call for measures to restore and protect forests, and to engage in the sustainable use of natural resources.
March 21 is also World Hypnobirthing Day.
Hypnobirthing is a childbirth preparation program that emphasizes natural childbirth and teaches self-hypnosis techniques to combat fear and pain during labor.
The method is based on the philosophy that childbirth does not have to be a painful experience if you are properly prepared and relaxed. It involves a combination of education, relaxation, breathing, and visualization techniques to facilitate a calm, serene, and often painless birth.
The date of the celebration was not chosen by chance, as it coincides with the first day of astronomical spring.
Today, you can still join the events dedicated to the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
The event was introduced in honor of the tragic events in South Africa - on March 21, 1960, police killed 69 protesters who opposed the adoption of apartheid laws.
Today is also International Puppeteer's Day, Ancient Music Day, and World Poetry Day.
According to the church calendar, today is the Day of Remembrance of St. James, Bishop of Sicily.
St. James was a preacher, theologian, and opponent of iconoclasm. For this, he was repeatedly detained, severely tortured, and sent into exile.
On March 21, Yakov, Kyrylo, Anton, and Fedir celebrate their name days.
