IMPORTANCE OF FORESTS AND WILDLIFE
Forests are areas where most of the species of flora and fauna are
found per square kilometres.
It is the lungs of the planet that take up the carbon dioxide
released by the animals and give oxygen to the environment.
Forests are defined as the areas of lands that grow various species
of trees, plants, shrubs, herbs.
The woods are a natural habitat for numerous animals and birds
The forests are the areas that regulate the temperature of the
earth.

IMPORTANCE OF FORESTS AND WILDLIFE
It prevents the soil from being eroded by floods and other natural
calamities.
Forests are the primary source of many medicinal plants, woods,
food, raw materials, and fabrics.
About 31% of the earth's surface is covered by forest, but as the
modern age arises, the rate at which the trees are being cut-
down is increasing gradually.
Hence, there is an importance of conserving the woods and its
associated wildlife.

CONSERVATION OF
FOREST
Conservation of forests is the practice of saving the trees that are cut by industries and other
organizations in the name of development and urbanization.
It is planting new trees and taking care of them. The number of trees that are cut must be lower
than the number of trees that are planted. All the people must take an active initiative to plant
more trees in the neighbourhood and also stop numerous trees from being cut. Deforestation
is the process of cutting trees and making the area of the forest barren and unfit for living for
animals and birds. Hence, deforestation must be controlled to control the destruction of the
forest.
Awareness about climate change due to deforestation must be spread among people. Since
industrialization is slowly growing in the modern world, properly planned deforestation must
be done. The woods which cannot be used and that need less time to grow must be used as raw
materials. Selectively the trees are cut so that rare trees are preserved.

CONSERVATION OF
FOREST
Forest fires are the primary source of deforestation. Proper measures to prevent forest
fires should be taken. Old woods that can catch fire due to lightning must be
removed. Steps to lower the forest fires should be considered. Planning and
execution of the elimination of forest fires must be done priory by the government.
Various reforestation programs like the World Environment Day celebrated on June 5th
of every year should be practiced by multiple schools and colleges. Youth must be
encouraged to plant and look after the plants. The importance of conserving the
trees must be explained to the people.
The exploitation of forest products must be stopped. Strict rules and implementation of
the regulations must be made on people who exploit forest wealth. Forest
management departments should take care of the sustainable growth of the forests
and ensure that hunting and poaching activities are avoided

WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
The protection of diverse wildlife in the forest is called wildlife conservation.
Wildlife is the animals and birds that live in the woods and that are not
domesticated by anyone. The wood is their natural habitat, and destruction of
the forests leads these animals to become homeless. These animals can later
come among the villages and feed on the crops as they do not have a specific
home to live.
Medicinal plants that have an essential therapeutic value are obtained in forests.
Most of the antibiotics are manufactured by the raw materials found in the
woods. Almost one-third of the pharmaceutical industry gets its raw materials
from the woods. These medicinal plants may also have the potential to cure
many diseases that man has not found a cure for. Hence, forests are essential
places for scientists to find specimens to research and find a cure, explore
different properties of plants. These medicinal plants are wild and can also
come under the term of wildlife.

WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
Forests and wildlife are necessary to regulate the population
of different species of animals and birds. The forest
ecosystem has primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers
in the food chain.
Forests help in maintaining biodiversity as various species of
organisms takes shelter in the woods. Microorganisms that
are necessary for the biosphere to survive, such as
nitrogen-fixing bacteria, also take refuge in the soil of the
forest. They regulate the nitrogen content of the earth and
make it sustainable for living.

REASONS WHY FORESTS MATTER
The primary reason to conserve forests and wildlife is to provide
oxygen to breathe. Without the existence of trees, oxygen
cannot be formed, and carbon dioxide may be accumulated in
the environment.
The products of the forests, like medicinal plants, fabrics, and
raw materials, give employment to millions of people. Without
the woods, all of these people lose their jobs and cannot earn a
livelihood.
Forests provide shelter to a wide range of animals. If the trees are
destroyed, these animals also die as they do not have their
natural habitat. This destruction makes many of the
endangered species of plants and animals extinct.

REASONS WHY FORESTS MATTER
Forests play a role in the carbon cycle by absorbing carbon
dioxide from the animals.
They bring about a moderate atmospheric temperature and
prevent global warming and also reduces the greenhouse
effect. Global warming causes an increase in the sea level by
melting the glaciers and ice in the north and south poles.
Forests can absorb most of the water during a flood and hence
prevent soil erosion and rescue us from the natural
calamities.
A significant economy can be generated by converting the forest
zones into tourist spots and viewing the wildlife as a first-
hand experience.

ESSENTIAL POINTS ON CONSERVATION OF
FOREST AND WILDLIFE
Deforestation is the destruction of forests and creating a barren land. It may
be done to use forest land for commercial purposes.
Reforestation is the regrowing of plants in a land where once forest existed but
now is destroyed.
Afforestation is growing plants in a barren area. It is building a new forest in
an area where forests never existed.
Fossil fuels are obtained from the forest resources and should be appropriately
used and not be wasted.
Wildlife should not be destroyed and should be put in either in-situ
conservation or ex-situ conservation centres.
The Government should protect animals and birds from hunting and
poaching. Strict action should be taken against people who hunt animals
for their skin, horns, teeth, hair, etc.

ESSENTIAL POINTS ON CONSERVATION OF
FOREST AND WILDLIFE
Endangered species must be given special protection so that they do not become
extinct.
Wood and timber must be used wisely, and for every tree cut, twice the amount
of plant must be planted and taken care of.
Forest fire departments must be separately employed, and fires should be
minimized to a greater extent.
Students, youth, adults should take part in programs to grow plants and trees.
Forests have ecological importance, and wildlife has interdependence and is
essential for the ecosystem to function.
The fossil fuels and wood generated by forests contribute significantly to the
economy of the country.
Forests provide a wide range of sources for scientists and enthusiasts that are
engaged in science.
