Question 8
Why should we worry about the conditions and issues related to forests far from us?
Forests are very important resources. We should be careful and concerned about the issues related to forest due to following reasons:
1. If there are no forests, there would be more floods and more soil erosion.
2. Forests affect the global environment in a great way. For example, reduced forest cover in a particular area leads to global warming which affects the whole earth.
3. Forests are the dwelling of many animals. Deforestation will endanger our life and environment.
4. In the absence of trees and plants, the animals will not get food and shelter.
5. Forests provide us with a large number of useful products including wood, fruits and medicines. These products would not be available in the absence of trees and plants.
