Question:
In order to meet the ever-increasing demand in factories and for shelter, trees are being continually cut. Is it justified to cut
trees for such projects? Discuss and prepare a brief report.
Answer:
No. It is not at all justified to cut trees to meet the ever increasing demands of human population. Forests are the habitat of several organisms including wild animals. They provide us with good quality air as they give out 02 and absorb the harmful C02 gas from the atmosphere. In the process, they prevent the excessive heating of the atmosphere. They prevent soil erosion and natural calamities such as floods and droughts. They increase the fertility of the soil and help conserve
biodiversity. The cutting of forests to meet the demands of growing human population will lead to global warming, soil
erosion, greenhouse effect droughts, floods, and many more problems. The destruction of forests will disturb the balance of
nature. Hence, forests must be conserved.
