speech on tree plantation drive
Answers
Answer:Good morning everyone present. I feel immensely privileged
to have got the opportunity to express my views on ‘Trees are Our Lifeline’.
Franklin D. Roosevelt rightly said, “A nation that destroys its soils destroys
itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh
strength to our people. ” Trees are indispensable for life. Man can’t live
without trees.
However,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 forests and tropical rainforests.
Forests and rainforests house millions of species of plants, animals and
insects. 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.
Trees are important to the environment; they recycle water and process carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere through photosynthesis. They are the world's full-time purifiers
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.
Cutting of trees 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. Burning of these forests will result in
the emission of a large amount of carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gases like the oxides of nitrogen and methane are known to
trap atmospheric heat, thus increasing the average temperature of the Earth's
surface. This increase in the temperature near the Earth's surface and oceans
is termed as global warming.
Extreme weather conditions, changing agricultural production, and increase in
the disease carrying viruses are some of the other effects of global warming.
Deforestation is the primary reason behind global warming; we need to show greater
concern towards the cutting of trees on a large scale. We need to take quick
measures for preventing deforestation of the tropical forests so that we can hope
for an environment that is healthy to live in.
So, we see how crucial trees are for evolution and the
smooth running of all the life forms on the planet. They are indeed the
power-house of evolution. It is our bounden duty to plant and preserve trees
and forests as without them we can’t exist.
Hope it helps!!
Please mark it as the brainliest..
Have a good day ahead!!):)

The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. The over cutting of trees can have a negative impact on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for the millions of species. About eighty percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in the forests.
The forest soils are moist, but without protection from sun-blocking tree cover, they get dried out quickly. They also help in perpetuating the water cycle by returning water vapor to the atmosphere. Without trees to fill these roles, many of the former forest lands can quickly become barren deserts.
The cutting of trees deprives the forest of portions of its canopy, which may block the sun’s rays during the day, and also holds in heat at night.
Hope it helps!
