It is truly said that a tree is a life. In fact, trees play an important part in our economic and social life. We cannot live without the direct effect of trees. They not only provide timber, fruits, seeds, nectar etc. but also produce oxygen that is essential for our existence. Besides, they prevent sol-erosion, because rainfall and control weather of a locality to some extent.
But it is very sad to speak that even though they are vital for our existence most people do not realise their importance. They cut down trees recklessly and are organised to clear of groves and bushes. In our country excessive population also gives birth to such cruel deed. For their own benefit they do not spend even a moment whether they are doing right or wrong. But such a cruel blow must stop immediately.
So if we want to avoid some harmful effects of deforestation such as absence of rain, erosion of soil, drought and ecological imbalance we should grow more trees instead of deforestation. This matter should be taken very seriously because if we take it lightly then the consequences of it will not be good for the human beings as well as for the planet earth.
This is a very good sign that in our country both the central and state governments have become alarmed about the depletion of forest wealth. That is why we celebrate Vana-Mohotsava every year in the rainy season. The purpose of such celebration is to grow more trees in different places.
For this purpose the people should also come forward for only programmes on the part of governments cannot help to spread forests. A man should think if he has planted a tree before he is going to cut down a grown-up tree. So we should utter the solemn vow that “save the trees and plant more”. This is not only for the people or for the human begins, these are for all the creatures that live in this world (earth). If there is a tree then our ecological balances will be ok and good and will work and run smoothly and if there is no trees or if there is shortage of trees then it will not be good for the mankind and for every creature that is living on earth.
