Trees are the part and parcel of earthly life. All life directly or indirectly owes its existence to them. They release oxygen which we need for our life. They also absorb the carbon-dioxide. Many living species live in trees. Trees form the natural habitat of many animals, birds and insects. Trees help make the land fertile. We get good crops out of fertile land. They are the sources of the fruits and flowers. They offer us cool shade during summer. Trees and plants are the sources of many supply life-saving drugs. They prevent land erosion and guard us against pollution. Thus, trees keep up the ecological balance. Trees protect us from inclement wind also. Seeds, nuts and fruits are food sources for humans and animals. Thus, trees play an important role in our life. Felling of trees disturbs the eco-system. We should preserve trees and plants with great care.
