Question

43. Make notes or write a summary of the following passage.

and mosses. The trees and other plants that form a part of the forests create an environment
that is healthy for the breeding several species of animals. These are thus a habitat for a large
variety of wild animals and birds. Different types of forests grow in different parts of the
world. These are mainly divided into three categories - Rain Forests, Coniferous Forests and
Deciduous Forests. Forests form an important part of the ecological system mainly because

serve various purposes. The increase in the demand of various commodities derived from the
trees that grow in different forests and the need to accommodate the growing population are
among the major reasons for deforestation. It is important to realise that forests are essential
for the survival of the mankind, Forests help in purifying the atmosphere, aid in climate
control, act as natural watershed and are a source of livelihood for many people. Forests must
thus be preserved. Deforestation is a global issue and effective measures must taken to
control this issue.​
