Forests play a very important role in the ecology of the earth. However, it is now facing a crisis in its existence due to the blind tree felling by man over a long period of time.
One hectare of forest can absorb twenty-five tons of carbon dioxide and releases fifteen tons of fresh oxygen each year. Therefore, one may say that forests are a natural oxygen producer. Not only does it clean the air, but its lush branches and leaves also absorb sound, polluted air and dust. The evaporation of water by the leaves regulates the air temperature. The roots of trees protect and nourish the underground water, and prevent soil erosion by mountain waters or rain. How could we be so imprudent to harm such an important and wonderful resource?
Lacking the protection of the forests, the soil is attacked by heavy rains and parched by the hot sun. It becomes unsuitable for vegetation. The deteriorated quality of air directly affects man's health. Therefore, should forests disappear, it might be very difficult for man to continue to survive.
In everyday life, wood is an essential material for making paper,
furniture or interior design. Therefore, we must plant more trees,
strategically, as we fell them. Only in this way can we save the forests,
and ourselves.
