Question
Why should we worry about the conditions and issues related to forests far from us?
✓

Answer

There are various reasons for which we should be vigilant about matters related to forests.
$1)$ A decrease in forest area would lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in air. This will lead to an increase of earth’s temperature
$2)$ Soil erosion would occur if there are no forests.
$3)$ Floods would be more frequent in absence of forests.
$4)$ Forests provide shelter and food to animals. When forests are adversely affected, the habitats of wild animals are also adversely affected.
Therefore, we need to conserve our forests.
