Question

write a paragraph on the importance of afforestation .you may use the following points (introduction/ global warming/ change in weather pattern/ deformation/ results/ need of grow more trees/ usefulness/ conculusion.

Answer 1

Afforestation is the process of planting trees in an area which was previously devoid of any tree cover with an intention to establish a forest or a stand of trees in that area. It may also be defined as an act of converting an open land or a non-forest land into a forest by planting trees or their seeds.

In the present scenario, afforestation has assumed a great significance and helps in maintaining the environmental biodiversity. Large-scale deforestation in our country for establishing large industries and power plants has adversely impacted the biodiversity and ecological balance of our environment.

There are numerous advantages of afforestation that one can think of. Some of them are:

Reduces air pollution.Improves oxygen concentration in the environment.Afforestation reduces soil erosion.Helps avoid desertification.Afforestation minimizes global warming.Improves the supply of timber for furniture.Controls acid rain.

However, there are a few disadvantages too that can be attributed to afforestation. These are as follows:

It may affect biodiversity: Poor management may cause reduction of biodiversity in the ecosystem.Opportunity cost.Increases risk of wildfire.

There is an urgent need to increase our efforts for afforestation. If done in a planned manner and at appropriate locations, afforestation can be an answer to many human problems

Answer 2

encourage afforestation as it is the activity involving planting trees on large scale .Thus inturn re establishes earths balance inturn reducing the possibility of acid rainfall . As deforestation leads to increase in the temperature of the earth this may lead to global warming resulting imbalance in nature and loss of habitats for animals and birds .Trees are the natural habitat for birds and animals when these are cut down for several purposes without planting this may inturn affect the life of wild and domestic animals and birds who are dependent of trees . Thus it results in extinction of animals and birds they are on the verge of extinction.Thus we must encourage afforestation we must plant 10saplings when we are to cut a single tree
