Our life is dependent upon trees. There is a long association of man and trees. Since
the hoary past man and trees have been the two major creations of
Nature. In his prehistoric days man turned to trees and plants to
collect the things vitally necessary for his existence. Since that time
man and trees have been interdependent, though man is more indebted to
trees.Trees and plants produce oxygen (O2) through the process of photosynthesis. They use sunlight to convert water and carbon-dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates. We need oxygen for our survival.The forests contain a large number of animal species, crops and
medicines. Establishment of new forests with large number of trees
(afforestation) is important on account of following reasons:
to provide shelter to wild animals,to combat pollution, andto re-fill the depleting oxygen afforestation is a must.We require a forest land equal to one third of the total land area.In the past few decades, there has been massive cutting of trees
(deforestation). The hunger for agricultural land, hunt for timber and
necessity for cheap fuel caused massive deforestation. The tropical
forest trees were once the nerve centre of this planet. A large number
of trees have already been destroyed. At some places, trees are being
destroyed even today. As an effect of deforestation, there is a threat
to the species of biodiversity.We should preserve trees and plants with great care.
