Question

Short Note on Importance of Forest​

Answer 1

The importance of forests cannot be underestimated. We depend on forests for our survival, from the air we breathe to the wood we use. Besides providing habitats for animals and livelihoods for humans, forests also offer watershed protection, prevent soil erosion and mitigate climate change.

Answer 2

ANSWER

Forest provides the most conducive environmental conditions, food and shelter to various kinds of animals, birds, insects and other microorganisms. The soil in the forest is so fertile that it becomes favorable habitat for small insects and microorganisms.

We need forests in many ways ÷

• Absorbing harmful greenhouse gasses that produce climate change. In tropical forests alone, a quarter of a trillion tons of carbon is stored in above and below ground biomass.

• Providing clean water for drinking, bathing, and other household needs.

• Protecting watersheds and reducing or slowing the amount of erosion and chemicals that reach waterways.

• Providing food and medicine.

• Serving as a buffer in natural disasters like flood and rainfalls.

• Providing habitat to more than half of the world’s land-based species.
