Essay on Trees in English

        Trees occupy an important place in the life of human beings. They give us so many good things and yet expect nothing in return. Trees give us fruits for food and flowers for pleasure and worship. Trees play a significant role in reducing soil erosion and moderating the climate. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store large quantities of carbon in their tissues. Trees and forests provide a habitat for many species of animals and plants. They provide us timber for our houses and furniture. They provide us wood for fuel. Many trees provide us with medicinal products such as quinine and eucalyptus oil. In fact, many medicines that we use, ultimately come to us through trees and vegetation.

Trees provide shade and shelter, timber for construction, fuel for cooking and heating, and fruit for food as well as having many other uses. Trees also play an important role in purifying the air around us. They take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen that sustains life. Thus they help reduce the degree of air pollution.

In parts of the world, forests are shrinking as trees are cleared to increase the amount of land available for agriculture. Because of their longevity and usefulness, trees have always been revered, with sacred groves in various cultures, and they play a role in many of the world's mythologies. Trees attract rain-bearing clouds and prevent soil erosion and help to maintain a balance in the ecosystem. Trees are very necessary for good rainfall.

Trees are the source of many of the world's best known fleshy fruits. Apples, pears, plums, cherries and mangoes are all grown commercially in temperate climates. Governments all over the world have realized the importance of trees. Here, in India, we have an extensive tree plantation program is known as 'Vanmahotsava' every year. But government efforts alone are not sufficient. All schools, colleges and social service organizations should launch 'tree planting' programs on a massive scale. This is the only way to ensure a happy life for future generations.

To conclude, we can say that trees are very important for every life form on earth. Without trees, the survival of life on earth will become difficult, after some time every species starts to die because of lack of oxygen on the planet. So, to save our lives and to survive we have to learn the importance of trees.
