World Bamboo Day, 2010 & North East International Bamboo Festival, Kisama, Nagaland
 

World Bamboo Day was declared in 2009 bythe Thai Royal Forest Department on 18th September in Bangkok, during the 8th World Bamboo Congress. This declaration is an effort to increase the awareness of bamboo globally. Where bamboo grows naturally, bamboo has been a daily element, but its utilization has not always been sustainable due to exploitation.
