in the escalating population growth, we have almost forgotten the significance of forest ; here I have described why today's generation should do intensive plantation in order to save future generation.

1. FOREST ---
This is not merely a word but this word memorize us about our primitive age. This word
hinges on activities on ancient age like collecting foods, securing shelters, struggling with
unfavourable climate and ferocious beasts. On that early age of civilization, human beings
caught the hands of nature and forest. Forest had given mankind enough nourishment. Day
by day, human civilization had abound with prosperity and richness. In every step of our
development, we have taken helps from forests directly or indirectly and today we have
reached in the age of hyper mechanism , an era of internet and modern science. But no
matter how civilized we are today, forest still has a great impact on our life.
A forest is nothing but an area of land dominated by trees. In the time immemorial,
most of the part of the land was covered by trees. There are various kinds of forests all
over the world. Most of the dense and ideal forests are seen near earth’s equator. They
are tropical rainforests. Amazon rainforest is one of them. There are various types of
forests , across the globe viz. – Tropical deciduous forest , Tropical thorn forest,
Montane forest , Coniferous forest , Littoral and swamp forest etc. This forests help us in
many ways. First of all we need oxygen to breath and continue essential biological
systems. Forests are the paramount producer of oxygen. Surprisingly, Amazon rainforest
fulfils 20% of total oxygen supply across the globe. That’s why ‘ this forest is tagged with
the title of ‘ LUNGS OF THE WORLD’ . Trees are responsible for enhancement of water
cycle and rainfall because of their essential biological process , transpiration. Trees also
help to deaccelerate soil erosion by holding the soil particles closely. That’s why, it
controls flood situation indirectly. Trees in the coastal area ( Mangrove forest ) are very
helpful because they protect us from the deadly stormy winds of cyclones. Forests are
shelter for many creatures. Mainly the rainforests are pulsing with mesmerizing flora
and fauna. We also get valuable raw materials from forest trees ---- wood, honey, resin,
medicinal alkaloids , gum, latex and many more . In the other hand , the tantalizing
beauty of national park , sanctuary force tourists to visit. So, forests have a great
ecological and economical importance.
Today, ignorant-highly educated human have maddened to build cities , industry and
residential areas . Gradually , they are encroaching the habitation of the wild beasts .
In every year , we have to listen about forest fires . The outcome of this deforestation
FOREST :OUR MOTHER

2. are climate change, desertification, melting ice etc. This is an awful threat for our
future generation. Gandhiji had equitably confessed :
“What we are doing to the forests of the world is
but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves
and one another”
So, it is our first and foremost duty to paint the world with
green by social and agro forestry for securing our near future.
