The International Day of Forests is celebrated every year on March 21. This day is dedicated to raising awareness and reminding of the importance of forests for humanity and the environment. Forests are important for biodiversity conservation, climate regulation, soil and water conservation, as well as for providing important resources and services for people, such as wood, food, medicinal plants, places for recreation and many others. The International Day of Forests is an opportunity to highlight this importance and to express support for the conservation and sustainable management of forests around the world<\/span>. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Approximately 90% of the territory of the Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Fatra is covered by forests. Many of them are valuable evidence of the development of forest communities of the Carpathian type with the occurrence of numerous rare and endangered species. The Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Fatra is also characterized by a large concentrated occurrence of yew, which is also in the emblem of the Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Fatra National Park. Especially in more extreme locations, where forests have not been significantly affected by forestry activities, they retain the natural representation of tree species and the natural way of regeneration through the disintegration of primeval forest formations. Of the forests, the largest area is occupied by beech forests. <\/span><\/p>\n
