Forests are essential for life on mother earth. Forests are home to, up to 80% of the biodiversity of terrestrial life. Forests play an essential and important role in avoiding soil erosion, degradation of land, and desertification. Forests also play an important role in sustaining global climate stability and absorb almost 1.5 billion tons of carbon released per year. However, 5.2 million hectares of forest are lost per year. These disturbing pieces of evidence are analytic of the catastrophe that is facing the world’s forests as a consequence of unmaintainable land-use and the over-utilization of forest resources.
Lungs Of Earth
Forest is known as the ‘lungs of the world’ as they clean out our atmosphere by absorbing about 10 to 20 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare each year. According to an estimate, a single leafy and mature plant releases oxygen enough for ten people. On average, one tree releases about 260 pounds of oxygen per year.
Phytoplankton which is also known as marina algae releases about fifty to eighty percent of oxygen in the atmosphere, but forests play a major role in improving the air quality.
Trees Normalize Climate
Trees generate vital areas of shade on the ground because of their branches and leavesForests near or in urban areas play a vital role in keeping the atmosphere clean and healthy and also maintain an optimum temperature range. Forests also help to maintain the atmosphere cool, decreasing the need for air coolers and air conditioners.
Trees fight the heat by absorbing carbon dioxide that creates global warming. If the forests are in larger areas then we can fight the current major issues like global warming, climate change.
Forests – The Source Of Income
On average more than 25 % of people depend on forests for their livelihood. They earn money through forests, as forests produce food, provide shelter and we also get timber from forests to make buildings, paper, and a lot of things.
Forests are also a huge source of medicines, cosmetic products, and detergents. We are getting a large number of herbs and using them in the treatment of various diseases.
