Question

Q. Read the following passage carefully:

Trees are of importance not only to man but also to birds and animals. The branches of trees give shelter to millions of birds and forests give shelter to numerous wild animals. We value trees not only for their usefulness but also for their beauty. They have a way to refresh the eye and also refreshes the mind. Perhaps that is why the rishies of olden days were drawn to the forests, and they and their people chose to live in forest homes in company of Nature. In modern times when Rabindranath Tagore started a school, he too chose a place full of trees and called it Shantiniketan or the home of peace.

Once upon a time large areas of India were covered with forests and were full of numerous kinds of trees. As the population grew, trees began to be cut down for mans use. That is how the wonderful forests described In our ancient poems came to be destroyed, and a great part of our forest wealth was lost. Now we are trying to replace this loss, and our government wants trees to be planted all over the country. A new festival called ‘Van Mahotsava’ has been started for this purpose. Since trees are the country’s wealth we must consider it our sacred duty to protect them. We should plant new trees wherever we can and look after them well.
