OUR FOREST WEALTH

Forest is a storage in which we get wood for preparing food and for making furniture & paper. Trees of the forest are the important part of our life because they take CO2 and give out O2 which is consumed by human beings. Trees of the forest also help in controlling over the flood.

J.S.Kalines writes that ''Trees hold the mountains. Trees attracts the rain and give food to the birds.''

We get many benefits of the forests, some of the benefits are as follows:

In the forests we get many types of wood which are very important for the manufacturing of the various products. The most important types of wood are shisham, cheer, chandan, sangon and abanus. These wood are used for manufacturing of the furniture, doors, toys, box of rails, ships and for other purpose.

Many people get employment. In India approx 07 crores people depend on the forests.

Forests are also helpful to government for getting the foreign currency. Different forests products likes oil of chandan, lack and things which are made of chandan wood etc. are exported to the other countries, in this way government earn 50 crores of foreign currency.

In forest we get many types of things from which many types of medicines are made which are helpful to cure several disease.

The forest are helpful for the rain to maintain underground water level. The forest prevent the soil erosion.

The trees of forests made available all thing which were useful for man. In this way we say that the human beings and forests are depending upon each other from the past.
