                                     Importance of growing more trees

 

Franklin D. Roosevelt rightly said, “A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Trees and forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people. ” The present condition of trees and forests in the world, especially developing countries is pathetic and miserable. Trees 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. Cutting of these trees has had a negative effect on the environment. It has resulted in an increase in the amount of carbon and other greenhouse gases in the environment. Burning of these forests has resulted 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. The only solution to world’s or any region’s problems lies in planting more trees. All the problems of air pollution, soil-erosion, floods, global warming exist because of lack of trees. The West Bengal government has launched various mass tree plantation drives to tackle the above mentioned problems in the state.
