Trees are a precious gift given to us by nature. They give many things to us. Food, medicine, shelter, timber and flowers are some of them.
Trees protect all the living beings and our environment. They prevent flood and soil erosion. They protect natural water springs and give us oxygen to breathe and fresh air by helping to keep the natural air balance by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
Not only that but trees also provide natural habitats to living beings and we can’t live without trees. They are our real friends. We must protect trees and plant more trees for our future generations.
