Because They Also Breathe Trees are our earliest neighbors and best friends. Trees are of tremendous value to us. They provide us oxygen which is a prime source of living. They prevent drought and cause rainfall. They help in checking environmental pollu on like, air pollu on; soil pollu on etc. & trees also are a natural medium to prevent soil erosion. They give us oxygen to breathe in and absorb the carbon dioxide. So, we should promote foresta on. We get resins, natural gums, etc. from the trees. Trees help in maintaining the fer lity of soil. They maintain ecological balance. They help in cleaning environment. Not only trees provide essen al things, they also add to the natural beauty. Unfortunately, trees are being cut indiscriminately. Rapid industrializa on, urbaniza on and popula on growth have contributed to the loss of trees. In this way we have done great loss to ourselves.
