For this year’s observance of International Environment Day the United Nations is focusing on the plight of forests worldwide. In Haiti, there remains less than one percent tree cover. Most deforestation is caused by the local population’s need for land to farm, wood to build with, and charcoal to cook with. The result has left immense tracks of land bare to the elements, hastened massive soil erosion and increased land slides and flash flooding. View of a deforested hilltop near Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
A member of the peasant association from a community in the Harerge Province, east of Addis Ababa, guards the land against vandals. With the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Government of Ethiopia has launched a massive reafforestation to counteract serious soil erosion and degradation, declining agricultural production and widespread famine. The programme is specifically designed to study the adaptability of various tree species to the country's diverse bioclimatic zones and eventually lead to a better integration of agriculture and forestry.

Headline Global Seed Vault in Longyearbyen, Norway 
Caption Description View of the main entrance to the Global Seed Vault in Longyearbyen, Norway. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited the vault, established in 2007 to protect seed samples from around the world against the threats of climate change, disease and disasters. Permafrost and thick rock ensure that even without electricity, the genetic material stored in the vault will remain frozen and protected. The Secretary-General said that the seeds stored in the facility are part of a long-term strategy to ensure food security in the face of global warming and called it a gift to humanity and symbol of peace that will continue to inspire and serve for generations to come.
