Planting trees is vital to maintain a balance in the ecosystem. Without trees there is no oxygen gas then no life of world animals, makes us live a healthy and pleasant life,

·         Trees produce oxygen which absorbs carbon dioxide produced by animals and by different machines in industries and vehicles.

·         Some of trees provide shade, fruits, nitrogen fixation, medicine and natural habitat to insect.

·         Trees prevent soil erosion because the roots bind the soil together, the leaves which are dropped to the ground decompose increases the fertility of the soil.

·         But also remove different kinds of impurities from the atmosphere including nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and ozone.

·         Trees increase the value of the land and make the environment beauty.

·         Trees are good absorbers of noise. In planting many trees we reduce sound pollution.

·         Planting of trees help reduce ozone levels and the biodiversity gets enriched in turn.

·         Trees help to maintain sources of water and slowing the runoff of rain water allowing refilling aquifers. 

 Therefore trees should be regularly planted to save the mankind and the animal world. However almost half of the world forests are lost and deforestation continues due to land development, agriculture expansion, fire explosion, unsustainable logging practices pest and insect infestations and trade basing on trees products such as timber and charcoal.
