Solution

Forests are a necessity for the survival of living beings. Not only do they provide a green cover that prevents soil erosion, but it also converts the carbon dioxide to oxygen which is required by us for Respiration. Forests provide many important raw materials from which we make various useful items.

Many things which were earlier made from forest
products are now being made from synthetic fibres. For example; plastic chairs have replaced wooden chairs in a big way. Similarly, wooden cartons and crates have been replaced by plastic cartons and crates. The way plastic has replaced wood from many items, it is definitely minimizing the need to cut forests.

Thus, it can be said that manufacturing synthetic fibres is actually helping conservation of forests.
