• Trees help us breathe and provide a home for quite a few diverse kinds of animals and insects.

s. They are the

largest and longest living organisms on earth. To grow tall the tree has become a miracle of engineering and
a complex chemical factory. It is able to take water and salts out of the earth and lift them up to the leaves,
sometimes over 400 ft above. By means of photosynthesis the leaves
• combine the water and salts with carbon dioxide from the air to produce the nutrients which feed the tree. In
this process, as well as wood, trees create many chemicals, seeds and fruit of great utility to man. Also, trees
provide refreshing shade.
• Apart from the above, trees are effectively the lungs of the environment. They take much of carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere and release oxygen via photosynthesis. Therefore, the greenhouse gas load is reduced
and effects of global warming are also brought down. Further dead trees that get buried in soil eventually
provide fossil fuels like coal, gasoline products, etc. Among all, trees have an indisputable role in bringing
rain to earth. Moreover, they provide a cover over the top surface of earth preventing excessive heating up
by solar rays.
• Trees provide the human species with a constant supply of oxygen. This oxygen, which humans in turn
utilize for survival, is produced through trees as they intake various amounts of carbon monoxide, which
humans create as they exhale oxygen.
A small seed becomes a big Tree, gives shed in summer and in winter all of the leaves of the Tree falls down to
indirectly provide us more sunlight and the atmosphere becomes more warm.
Flower on threes give joyfulness to us. Fruits satisfy our hunger.
They (Trees) always take away polluted air (Carbon Dioxide) from the environment and in return they give
fresh, purified oxygen.
Tree provide home to the Birds, Animals and Human Beings also.
Some tree have medicinal values also, their every part starting from the roots to the top are full of medicinal
values, Neem (Botanical Name: Azadirachta Indica) is a very famous tree and best example of this.
Trees help in controlling temperature of the environment. You have noticed that the place where there are trees,
are much more cooler and hygienic for living. That's why people prefer to spend their life in regions which are
away from concrete jungle of cities Like New York, New Delhi, Tokyo, Mumbai, London, Cairo and all other
big cities.
Deforestation is normal these days, this is creating a lot of problems. Some of the hazards from deforestation are
as follow:
• Soil Erosion: The trees help in keeping the soil intact with their roots but when there is lot of cutting of
trees, the soil is washed away with water during the rains. And during floods the it creates havoc. Due to
soil erosion the water level also falls down.
• Pollution: Trees help in controlling the pollution in the air and if their are no trees, we have to face more air
pollution.
• Lack of Pure Oxygen
• Environmental Imbalance
• Imbalance in the Food Chain of the Ecosystem.
• Global Warming is becoming a major problem these days due to this. Due to this Glaciers are melting and
the Sea Level is rising day by day. This is indirectly creating lot of environmental problems.
Social Benefits
We like trees around us because they make life more pleasant. Most of us respond to the presence of trees
beyond simply observing their beauty. We feel serene, peaceful, restful, and tranquil in a grove of trees. We are
“at home” there. Hospital patients have been shown to recover from surgery more quickly when their hospital
room offered a view of trees. The strong ties between people and trees are most evident in the resistance of
community residents to removing trees to widen streets. Or we note the heroic efforts of individuals and
organizations to save particularly large or historic trees in a community.

The stature, strength, and endurance of trees give them a cathedral-like quality. Because of their potential for
long life, trees frequently are planted as living memorials. We often become personally attached to trees that we
or those we love have planted.
