Before the World Wood Day event formally started, there were one-day tours on 19 and 20 March for the event participants to visit Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, and Terrace of the Leper King for a better understanding of Cambodian history and culture and for inspiration from Angkor Wat, a well-known world heritage.
World Wood Day is a cultural event celebrated annually during the week of March 21st to highlight wood as an eco-friendly and renewable biomaterial and to raise awareness on the key role wood plays in a sustainable world. Starting from 2013, WWD celebrations were held in Tanzania, China, Turkey, Nepal, and United States respectively, involving participants from over 100 countries and regions.
