Yesterday was #InternationalForestDay. It is a day set aside by the @UN to bring global awareness and attention to the significance of forests to the wellbeing of Planet Earth.

The theme for 2021 is “Forest restoration: a path to recovery and well-being”.
The @FAO defines a forest as "land spanning more than 0.5 hectares, with trees higher than 5 meters, and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds in situ."
#InternationalForestDay
According to @Wikipedia, forests provide a diversity of ecosystem services including:

- converting carbon dioxide into oxygen and biomass
- acting as a carbon sink, making them necessary to mitigate climate change

The @FAO reports that the majority of economically active women in the least-developed countries work in agriculture.

But there are gender-specific obstacles that put female farmers at a significant disadvantage even as they strive to make their mark in the industry and contribute exceptionally to the development of Planet Earth.

The Horn-Locking Exercise: State Governors versus Herdsmen

The dangerous insecurity experienced nationwide got to a head in Ondo State with a vacation order from the government to all illegal occupiers of the State's forest reserve areas.

#EndInsecurity
@edobong_akpabio
Ondo State has been in the news for months now for the high rate of kidnapping, armed robbery, murder and callous attacks on citizens travelling on the highways, in broad daylight, by criminals hiding in the bushes and forest reserves and suspected to be herdsmen.
#EndInsecurity
The story is the same all over the country - brazen criminals, masquerading as herdsmen attacking, maiming and killing innocent people, even razing down whole communities with impunity. Farmers have been some of the hardest hit, with loss of lives and property.
