Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I want to express my deep concern and the need to immediately do as much as is possible at the micro and macro levels before the problem becomes unmanageable. The present condition of forests in the world, especially developing countries is pathetic and miserable. Forests are the source of life. They are the giving angels. They give man oxygen, rains, wood, fruit, make the world look so beautiful, yet the sinister man kills them! Who will be more inhumane than man himself? Cutting of forests ultimately endangers man’s own existence.
Most of the world oxygen that the animal species including man inhale, is produced in the tropical rainforests. More than half of the world's estimated 10 million species of plants, animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests. They are important to the environment as they recycle water and regulate levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through photosynthesis. They are the world's full-time regulators of air and water. Their cutting will disturb the natural water cycles which will lead to the shortage of fresh-water in the water reserves of the world.
The tropical rainforests are also very important because they are home to an enormous number of plants and animals. Even more importantly, they are home to many unique plants and animals that do not exist anywhere else in the world. If the tropical rainforests were to be destroyed, so would the homes of all these species. Without a home, many of these species could become extinct.
Cutting of these forests will have a negative effect on the environment. It will result in an increase in the amount of carbon and other greenhouse gases in the environment. Many unique species of plants and animals will become extinct. The very process of evolution will be affected irreparably. The people of the world must unite to preserve these powerhouses of creation and evolution.
Through the columns of your esteemed daily I appeal to the government and people to do their level best in preserving these invaluable forests.
