World Environment Day. This day was designated with the aim of raising awareness in all the countries of the world so that they feel the responsibility of taking care of the environment as their own, as well as the conservation of species and ecosystems.

In Cuba, and in Havana specifically, educational programs are developed in order to inform the population about the consequences of deforestation and forest degradation, for which the date is selected to encourage all the inhabitants of the island. The program includes tree planting by children from the museum classrooms project in the historic center of Havana, as well as the awarding of the contest Creating my seedbed, with the active participation of that sector of the population.

A well-known example of what the environment means for the capital is the Parque Metropolitano, also known as Parque Almendares, which is considered the green lung of the city. It constitutes a tropical forest of high landscape value and the only area within the metropolis with the presence of an urban forest that crosses the land corresponding to four municipalities of Havana. Various initiatives have been put into practice in the park, to encourage love of nature and the development of its areas.
