WHY TREE ARE SO IMPORTANT IN OUR LIFE WATCH THIS VIDEO

Importance of Tree Plantation 

“A tree is the best friend of man on earth.” When we use trees respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources on earth. Trees are rightfully called the ‘lungs of the earth.’ Life on earth would cease to exist in the absence of trees. Trees are responsible for sustaining the environment in several ways.

Trees release life-supporting oxygen and absorb harmful gases like carbon dioxide during the process of photosynthesis. They act as sponges by taking in toxic emissions and other pollutants, released into the atmosphere by industries and vehicles. The roots of trees bind the soil together thereby preventing erosion. The blatant and increased rate of deforestation is the primary cause of landslides. In addition to being the bearers of delicious fruits, trees are the natural habitat of several species of animals, birds, and insects. Thus, the destruction of a tree implies the destruction of an entire ecosystem.

We have inherited this planet with its many resources, from our ancestors. The onus rests on us to protect the earth’s fragile ecosystem, so that future generations have a place they can call home. It is indeed ironic that despite being at the top of the food chain Homo Sapiens are intent on destroying the very things that guarantee their survival. However, there is a silver lining. The situation can be remedied by restoring the earth’s green cover and taking concrete measures to reduce carbon emissions. Let’s all take a vow to go green and save the earth from destruction.

The Important Role of Trees in the Environment 

Trees are the most benevolent givers in nature. They play an extremely important role in giving life and sustaining it, as a whole, as well as maintaining a balance in the eco-system. This makes it crucial for us to understand how significant trees are to our life on earth and what we can do to counter the problem of their depleting numbers and all the additional challenges that come with it.

Trees play an extremely important part in regulating the temperature and making the weather conditions conducive to rainfall. They take in carbon dioxide from the air, thereby purifying it, and release oxygen, which is essential to the sustenance of life. Moreover, they also provide us with wood, food, fuel, paper, etc, which are an important part of our daily lives. Furthermore, they are home to all kinds of animals and birds as well.

Deforestation is a major reason behind the climate change crisis that we are facing today. Not only has it led to the occurrence of numerous natural calamities, but it has also resulted in the severe depletion and extinction of many species of flora and fauna.

It is high time that we took the responsibility for our actions. We need to give back to the earth and take care of her the same way she has been taking care of us for so long. We need to plant as many trees as possible to make our earth beautiful and green again.

Why Tree Plantation is Important 

“Plant a tree today for a better tomorrow.” The significance of forest cover and tree plantation cannot be stressed upon enough, and their importance has only increased in the present scenario, with global warming and climate change being very real threats to our planet and all its inhabitants.

Tree plantation refers to the transplantation of saplings or sowing of seeds in order to facilitate green cover and promote afforestation. Tree plantation can be a very fulfilling and fruitful activity! Not only is it good for the environment and the earth, but it is also a way in which you can help in making the world a better and cleaner place to live in, as trees help to bring down the levels of pollution.

The advantages of planting trees are manifold, such as:

1. Trees are Home to All Manner of Flora and Fauna

The earth is home to not just us but trees as well, and trees, in turn, are home to a variety of birds and animals such as monkeys, koalas, owls, tree frogs, pythons, etc. So, by erasing trees from the face of the earth and destroying green cover, we are destroying the homes of all these creatures as well. Moreover, trees also provide these creatures with food in the form of leaves and fruits, which is even more reason to preserve them.

Cutting these trees is results in the destruction of the natural habitat of these animals, leading to consequences as dire and disastrous as the diminishing of their populations or in the worst-case scenario, even the extinction of all these beautiful creatures. This is why it is imperative that we plant trees to maintain the ecological balance and ensure harmony in our biodiversity.

2. Growth of Forest Cover Leads to Growth in Economy

Trees are an indispensable part of our lives because they provide us with so many things that are essential for us. Everything, right from rubber, wood and paper to fruits and vegetables is provided to us by trees. Without trees, we would not have houses and other buildings, paper to write on, or even food. All these products that we obtain from trees are bought and sold and play a major role in the domestic as well as the international economy. Therefore, it is important to note that promoting afforestation will promote and boost the economy as well.

3. Planting trees can Help Combat the Negative Impact of Deforestation

All relationships are about giving and taking, even our relationship with the earth. It is only fair that we plant more trees to make up for the ones we cut, so as to maintain the ecological balance and natural harmony. Planting trees is the only way to make sure that our planet’s green cover is not wiped out completely.Trees give us life. It is time that we gave back to nature. It is time that we nurture the earth now and tree plantation would be a great leap forward in this endeavor.
