21-03-2017 - An annual occasion that honours the world's most precious woodlands.
And while many are diminishing an at alarming rate - more than 13 million hectares a year, an area roughly the size of England - our planet still possesses forests worthy of any bucket list.
The Iguazu Falls, a World Heritage site that spans the border between Argentina and Brazil, boasts dense forestry that sits perched amid crashing waterfalls and draws explorers from near and far.
The old gnarled trees that populate England's Peak District, meanwhile, posses a magic of their own, as does the leafy tunnel that surrounds an abandoned train track near Caransebes, Romania.
The Hallerbos forest in Belgium is famed the world over for its annual explosion of bluebells, which only make a brief appearance during spring.
Other stunning forests presented here by MailOnline Travel include the parks of Tragoess, Austria, which are flooded each year under 40 feet of water and can thus be explored by scuba divers.
