The forest is the best resource that have been provided to us by nature and our forefathers.They loved leading a nature friendly life with forest. They planted many saplings selflessly and felt happy on growing a tree.

But we started clearing forest for own selfish industrial growth without thinking about consequence and now we are in the edge for conserving forest resource for the future generation.

Forest acts as the lungs of the earth it provides 85% of the oxygen that we breathe . The forest plays a critical role in biodiversity and global warming of our ecosystem. The UN celebrates International Day of Forest on March 21 of every year to create awareness and to establish the importance of forest in our life.

Deforestation Statistics:-

• Every year more than 36 million acres of forest are lost which is roughly as the size of England. 
  
• The deforestation directly affects 80% of the biodiversity and it accounts for 12% to 20% percentage of global carbon emission and it serves as the main cause for climate change
  
• If the deforestation moves steadily at this rate there will be no rainforest in the next hundred years
  

So what are we going to do now? recreation of forest or afforestation is the only way to revamp our nature but that is not a easy process and it takes time. Steady  afforestation and decreasing deforestation is the only way to sustain our forest resource. Plant trees save Earth
