Question

Why should we worry about the conditions and issues related to forests far from us?

Answer 1

There are various reasons for which we should be vigilant about matters related to forests.

(i) A decrease in forest area would lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in air. This will lead to an increase of earth’s temperature.

(ii) Soil erosion would occur if there are no forests.

(iii) Floods would be more frequent in absence of forests.

(iv) Forests provide shelter and food to animals. When forests are adversely affected, the habitats of wild animals are also adversely affected.

Therefore, we need to conserve our forests.
