  1. Forest provides us trees, furniture, cotton, grains, veggies, etc. Therefore, forest is quite important and useful to us.
  2. I remember that evergreen trees never dry off. what I mean to say here is that- their leaves never become crooky and dry because they never lack water as most of the evergreen trees lie in the rainforest region. Now, about that of the thorny forests, the name simply describes it. It have thorns (kaate/kaata in hindi) on their branches like that of rose (it's just that rose is a plant)
  3. Besides the sundari, other tree species in the forest include Avicennia, Xylocarpus mekongensis, Xylocarpus granatum, Sonneratia apetala, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Ceriops decandra, Aegiceras corniculatum, Rhizophora mucronata, and Nypa fruticans palms that grow in sundarbans. The Sundari tree yields hardwood which is strong and durable and is used for making boats and boxes. (¾ part taken from Google :'v)
  4. I am sorry I don't know chipko movement so I'll search it on Google. The Chipko movement was a non-violent agitation in 1973 that was aimed at protection and conservation of trees, but, perhaps, it is best remembered for the collective mobilisation of women for the cause of preserving forests, which also brought about a change in attitude regarding their own status in society.
  5. it is because we are killing them for meat and more. Like for the vaccine of Coronavirus at least 2 sharks were killed for shark oil to experiment. Therefore, animals are at the end of their species. Also, we're killing their habitats which is not only bad but also non-controlable.
  6. A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes, created and protected by national governments while a wildlife sanctuary is a protected area of importance for flora, fauna, or features of geological or other special interest, which is reserved and managed for purposes of conservation and to provide special opportunities for study or research. (I am sorry I took this from Google as you said you need us to answer the following questions so I wanted to stick on the point but didn't know how to explain it)
