Indians have been worshipping trees since time immemorial and this is done as a matter of gratitude because we know that life cannot exists without trees. In Indian culture trees are believed to have conscious like humans so they can feel pain as well as happiness like us. So trees and their products are part of our rituals and ceremonies. With passage of time different trees like neem (Azadirachta indica), banyan (Ficus bengalensis), bel (Aegle marmelos) and many more have been added to the religious sanctity. Even various Gods and Goddess have been associated with different trees like bel, rudraksa (seeds of Elaeccarpus) are close to Lord Shiva, peepal to Lord Visnu, mango (Mangifera indica) to Lord Hanuman, asoka to Kamadeva, etc.
Reasons for destruction of foliage in India are :
1.Overgrazing by animals like cows and goats which eat up the grass and foliage available. The foliage is greatly harmed due to the foraging habits of these animals.
2. Cutting of trees by humans for making furniture and wooden articles. Tribals also cut down forest wood for cooking food and keeping themselves warm. This leads to great degradation of forest cover.
