Tree Plantation "Short composition"

Trees play an important role in maintaining ecological balance. Trees produce oxygen which is essential for us to survive. If there were no trees, there would have been no oxygen resulting in lifeless world. Trees also take away carbon-dioxide. It gives shade and makes the environment cool. Trees are necessary for healthy living. They also save us from natural calamities.

But many trees are being cut down every year. This is a problem haunting the whole world. According to the ecologists, for livable environment there should be forest on the 25% of land area. In Bangladesh only 16% of the total land is occupied by forests. To meet up basic needs of wood and fire wood man is destroying forest without caring for the ecological balance. Green patches of land are no more green. New areas of the world are becoming deserts as an immediate effect of deforestation. In absence of trees carbon dioxide is increasing worldwide. As a result, there is a global warming. The sea level is rising. Any time in future the earth may be engulfed by seas. On the other hand it leads to less rains and fall of harvest. This fall of harvest leads to famine with the result that many people die of starvation. Again birds and beasts will have no place to live in. Thus wild life will be extinct.

So to save mankind deforestation should be discouraged and awareness of the importance of trees has to be developed to keep the earth greener, cleaner and safer for the future. The loss of trees means the loss of life. We should, therefore, plant trees in plenty and preserve those that were planted before.
