Question

AN ESSAY ON PRESERVATION FOREST

Answer 1

Several measures have been prescribed for the preservation of the forests. They are as follows:
The trees cut down for timber or other uses, should be matched with planting of more trees, so that, there is no scarcity.
The use of fuel wood and wood charcoal should be discouraged. The conventional sources of energy should be tapped. Biogas should be employed for cooking, to lessen the consumption of fuel wood.
Modern methods of forest management should be practised. A forest is a very vulnerable asset. The slight neglect or unscientific working can rapidly deplete and may even annihilate it after which reforesting of the area may not be economically feasible.


According to the opinion of experts in this field, it is believed that economy of this country would be sound if at least one-third of country's land comes under forest. To achieve this, there should be prompt action at the levels of individuals, community and the government.
