Save Forests

Forests are a source of income, beauty and living.We should save forests as they provide us food, shelter and also,sometimes, furniture. But,is it essential for us to make furniture out of original wood?No,not at all..We can make furniture out of artificial wood. Cutting trees, hunting animals, etc. are all the activities which attract humans..Man has been living in forests since millions of years but he is so brutal towards nature.it is unbelievable that he is destroying the place which gave him so much to eat,to wear and to live...
In 1970's, Chipko Movement was started to conserve trees....It was the strong uprising against those people who were destroying the natural resources of the forests and disturbing the whole ecological balance...Many animals also lose their shelters after the trees are cut in the forests ...Forests are the lungs of the Earth! 
Not only do they purify the air we breathe, forests store carbon, help in maintaining global climate as well as recharge our water sources. 


  • Forests are home to some of the most unique plant and animal species and support a diversity of life forms. The loss of forests has pushed many species to the brink of extinction.
  • Forests are life support systems for the rural poor. Almost 90% of the earth’s poverty ridden communities depend on forests for food, fibre and energy.
  • Forests provide free services to all life – water, soil and oxygen!



To save forests, people have to join hands and keep their mind ready to have a change.Instead of cutting trees,we should plant more...Trees are for hugging,not for cutting!!!!Saving/conserving forests,will not in any way,affect us but it will help in enriching our environment and surroundings..
We should conserve forests so that we can live happily in the future !!!
