Man and Trees

    Man and Trees    

               Trees sustain life by extending its friendly branches for man and creature. We gather fruits and vegetables, crops and grains from the benevolent trees. They provide us with the raw materials for constructing human habitat. They give us herbal medicines- life-saving and with no side effects. Paper, wax, spice, rubber, honey, fuel are the precious gifts of trees. Forests produce oxygen and reduce the level of carbon dioxide and hence keep a balance of these gases in the atmosphere. They constantly fight against the greenhouse effect and so check global warming. We can breathe in fresh air as they purify the atmosphere. They prevent soil erosion and can resist floods. Trees are the natural habitat of birds, insects and animal life which is very essential for ecological balance. But trees are felled indiscriminately for the rapid urbanization and industrialization. So, deforestation has been strongly checked and monitored. Afforestation is the new goal set for our survival. So, social forestry has been highly encouraged. People nowadays observe Tree Plantation Day or Week. We have a slogan 'One Plant, One Life'. Trees, a source of aesthetic pleasure are also the fountainhead of life perpetually.
