Trees are a part and parcel of earthly life. All life directly or indirectly owes its existence to them.
Trees release oxygen which we need for our life. They also absorb the carbon-dioxide.
Many living species live in trees. Trees form the natural habitat of many animals, birds and insects.
Trees help make the land fertile. We get good crops out of fertile land.
They are the sources of the fruits and flowers.
They offer us cool shade during summer.
During rainy season, we take shelter under the trees.
Trees and plants are the sources of many supply life-saving drugs.
They prevent land erosion and guard us against pollution. Thus, trees keep up the ecological balance.
Trees protect us from inclement wind also.
Seeds, nuts and fruits are food sources for humans and animals..
Thus, trees play an important role in our life. Felling of trees disturbs the eco-system. We should preserve trees and plants with great care.
Answer:
Out failure to take care of our forests is threatening the very existence of man and wildlife. Legal and illegal commercial logging had taken its toll on our environment. Commercial logging is not to be taken lightly. The timber industry is buzzing with bribery and kickbacks. It is not a secret that through corruption a person can obtain concession for felling trees and transport clearance. Logging forests is a brutal business. In felling a large mature tree hundreds of smaller trees and saplings are destroyed.
1. Trees stabilize the soil. In the absence of trees and forests the fertile top soil is washed away by rainwater making cultivation impossible.
2. Trees prevent desertification. The famous Pink City, Jaipur is being encroached by desert due to the absence of trees.
3. Trees retain water in the soil. Without forests the entire rainwater flows into the sea. The water is then not available as ground water. Thus we experience flash floods followed by severe droughts. The underground water level also sinks and cultivation becomes impossible.
4. If deforestation continues unchecked and if afforestation is not taken up on a war footing, water management experts warned that there will be violent riots for water due to scarcity caused by droughts and pollution of rivers and lakes.
5. Trees are water bearer. Without trees rainfall will decrease and cultivation will become rather a matter of luck. Worldwide food scarcity causing famines is expected as food grain productions diminished due to low and unpredictable rainfall.
6. Trees are oxygen cylinders. Trees absorb the harmful Carbon dioxide and release Oxygen. Deforestation contributes to the decrease in oxygen level and increase Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Increased Carbon dioxide level results in lungs diseases, cancer and lower life expectancy.
7. Trees are air conditioners. Trees keep the temperature temperate. Trees and forests are habitats of wild birds and animals. Tree covered lands are the store house of many medicinal plants.
8. Trees also reduce air and noise pollution and add beauty to the landscape.
To save our home, the Earth, and all life in it people must prevent further felling of trees and start planting trees on a mass scale.
