Answer:
Because it gives us oxygen
Explanation:
Planting trees is called plantation. Plantation should be protected. Plantation is converted into garden or forest if we protect plantation. Our government has always been recommending the act of plantation. Our late Prime-minister Smt. Indira Gandhi has favoured plantation all over the country. The result is that we see plantation on both the sides of the roads and railway lines.
We need governments and clothes to decorate our body. If we put on beautiful garments, we look beautiful. If we do not use garment to decorate of body we look very odd. In the same way the verdant land looks very beautiful. If we see the land full of green grass, and trees, the sight looks very beautiful. Our earth full of greenery seems to be very charming and attractive. The forests and gardens enhance the beauty of the countryside.
The green leaves of the trees absorb Carbon di-oxide from the air. They send oxygen into the atmosphere. Thus the green leaves of the trees help to replace oxygen used up from the atmosphere.The trees check the soil from being washed away in the rainy season. In rainy season it rains heavily but the roots of the trees hold the soil and prevent it from being washed away.The cool air over forest cools the rain clouds and help to cause rainfall. Therefore rainfall over forest areas is higher than in other places.The trees give us fruits to eat, firewood to burn, food to our domestic animals. They provide us with several useful things as herbs and roots. These herbs and roots are used in manufacturing medicines of all kinds. Thus we can say that trees supply us with oxygen and food. These are the two most important needs of man's life.
Our forest give shelter to the wild animals and the green leaves in the garden or forest give shelter to the different kinds of birds. They give shadow to the people who travel on foot. Trees are the wealth of a nation. There are some trees which supply useful things to us. These trees are rubber, coconut, eucalyptus, cinchona and cow trees. The sap of the cow tree is used in making artificial milk.
In our country a festival of trees is celebrated in Dehradun. It is called 'Van Mahotsava'. Its purpose is to plant trees all over the country. We should plant tree where there is no crop is grown. It will protect our land from being barren.
