Trees are a boon of nature. When we cut trees we destroy our own lives. We also destroy many other life forms that depend on trees for food and shelter.
Our earth today is subject to pollution of air, water and soil. Besides, we are also suffering from reduction in availability of water on our planet due to the drying up of lakes and pollution of water bodies. Trees play a big role in maintaining the hydrological cycle on earth.
Trees also maintain the level of the water table so that water can be sourced from underground through wells and be used by us for our varied needs.
Trees also prevent flooding and the silting of water bodies because they help in holding the soil. It is the top soil which is rich in nutrients, and this is held by trees. If there were no trees the top soil would easily be washed away in a flood. Therefore trees also play a role in maintaining the fertility of soil.
Trees are a source of food for man and all herbivorous creatures. Tree parts such as roots, stems, bark, leaves, flowers and fruits are eaten for their nutritive value. Tree parts may also have medicinal properties and may be used to treat various health conditions.
Trees are a source of providing oxygen to and using up carbondioxide from the air. Therefore they help in providing us the very vital element for our breath. If there is no oxygen we cannot live. Trees thus also help in keeping the levels of carbondioxide, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere in check. Global warming is a phenomenon that is caused by high levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Saving trees is therefore very important for our life and the life of planet Earth.
