Trees give us fruits for food and flowers for pleasure. They provide us timber (wood) for building our houses and making furniture. Many trees provide us medicinal products such as quinine and eucalyptus.
Trees play an important role in purifying the air around us. They breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen that sustains our life. Thus they make this world a better place to live in. 34
Trees are also very necessary for having good rainfall. The trees attract rain bearing clouds and prevent soil erosion and conserve the earth. Trees bear a great impact on the climate. If we destroy trees at random, one day the country will turn into a great desert.
Notwithstanding the debt we owe to trees, their emotive power, and their importance to other forms of life, the forested area of the earth is steadily being depleted. This is leading to the degradation of the environment and the extinction of many species. There is now a real danger that in the not very distant. In future man will destroy a large proportion of the present population of species on earth, create an uninhabitable environment, and then die out himself. Trees are our country's wealth; we must consider it our sacred duty to protect them and to look after them well.
