Forests provide immense wealth and riches for us. They yield timber and fuel wood, bamboos, canes, leaves, fruits, fibers and grasses. The other useful products from forests are shellac, resins, precious herbs and medicinal plants. They are also a great source of material for paper, rubber, gums etc.

Forests have a direct influence on the climate of a region. They induce rains and prevent air pollution.  An area devoid of forests will go barren and turn out to be a desert in course of time. The roots of trees bind loose soil and thus help in soil conservation.

The top fertile soil is thus retained which so vital for agriculture. Arrest of soil erosion also prevents silting and rising of river beds and possible overflowing of river causing floods. Forests protect us from inclement wind also. With increase in population and rapid industrialization, random deforestation has taken place. This has resulted in dwindling rainfall, depletion in ground water level and occurrence of droughts.

Forests are nature’s most precious gifts which feed us physically and aesthetically. They constitute the resource reservoir for human welfare and their management should be planned on a global level. The socio-economic pattern of a particular continent or a country does get perceptibly influenced by forests. Indiscriminate felling of trees thus depletes the forest wealth beyond redemption. The rehabilitation of forests, maintenance of proper forests and ecosystem are therefore the only way left to us for our survival.
