forestry day

World Forestry Day - 21 Mar 2010

World Forestry Day commemorates the contribution and value of forests and forestry to the community. It has been celebrated around the world for 30 years to remind people of the importance of forests and the many benefits we gain from them.A forest, which we usually think of in terms of trees, is in fact a complex, living community. Forest has been of great importance to mankind since prehistoric days.

Importance of Forests

Forest provides multiple benefits to environment, people, and animals. Today the forest coverage is reduced to only 30% as opposed to 60% earlier. We are paying the cost of development by reduction in vegetation (by clearing of forests) to lead the path for mines, towns and roads.Forests provide many valuable things for the whole community.

How do we celebrate forest day?

The reckless felling of trees is creating many problems in the surroundings so the need of the hour says that everybody should ponder seriously over it. Everybody should actively involve themselves in prevention and creation of new forests.

 

Plant a tree !!! Make your life carbon free !!!
