Trees are an integral part of our lives and it is our responsibility to protect them. As long as trees exist on the earth, only human civilization exists, so we have to protect trees.
Today the time has come again when the Chipko movement took place to save the trees. Because trees are being cut down for urbanization and big highways, but they are not being planted again.
Forests are being indiscriminately harvested by some greedy people but nothing is being done by the government. Not only our government has appointed many forest guards to save trees, but they are also helping to cut down trees due to some greed.
Due to this, the entire environment of the earth is being affected, if this continues, then in the coming few years there will be a lack of water to drink and food to eat, as well as the lack of the most important clean air for life. It will be done.
