    Trees are vitally important for our environment, health, and climate. They produce oxygen, improve air quality, regulate climate, and support wildlife. One acre of forest absorbs 6 tons of carbon dioxide and produces enough oxygen for 18 people annually. However, deforestation is destroying forests at an alarming rate of 18 million acres per year. In Pakistan alone, tree cover loss from 2000-2013 was over 10,000 hectares while gain was under 1,000 hectares. Without trees, global warming will increase and disrupt the environment, ecosystems, and air quality. Reforestation and protecting existing forests are critical measures to save trees.

    Introduction:

    Our purpose is to create awareness regarding


    importance of trees to our planet, so that we can
    save existing trees, we can plant more trees to
    create a green world free of pollution.
    Why are trees so important?

    • Trees are an important part of every


    community.
    • Our streets, parks, playgrounds and backyards
    are lined with trees that create a peaceful,
    aesthetically pleasing environment.
    • Trees contribute to their environment by
    providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate
    amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil,
    and supporting wildlife.
    Why are trees so important?

    • According to the U.S. Department of


    Agriculture, "One acre of forest absorbs six
    tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons
    of oxygen. This is enough to meet the annual
    needs of 18 people.“
    • Trees control climate by moderating the
    effects of the sun, rain and wind.
    Deforestation
    What is Deforestation?

    • Deforestation is the permanent destruction of


    forests in order to make the land available for
    other uses.
    • According to the United Nations' Food and
    Agriculture Organization (FAO), an estimated
    18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of
    forest, which is roughly the size of the country
    of Panama, are lost each year.
    Deforestation in Pakistan
    • The Global Forest Watch Initiative of the
    World Resources Institute was recently
    launched and it includes Global Forest Cover
    Change Mapping. The forest change for
    Pakistan is an eye-opener because the total
    tree cover loss between 2000 and 2013 is
    10,022.4 hectare (ha), while the gain is only
    847.3 ha.
    World without Trees:

    • Global warming will increase leading to


    melting of glaciers and a rise in sea level.
    This will disturb the entire chain of life on
    earth.
    • The water cycle will get disturbed, many
    species of animals will lose their habitats and
    we will in turn loose the huge bio-diversity
    that we are now proud of.
    • Air Quality will decrease to dangerous level.
    The Mega city, Lahore is covered in thick
    Smog

    • Lahore is turned into a gas chamber, a toxic cloud of


    chemicals and smoke enveloping the great city.
    • According to fresh readings obtained through the
    monitoring equipment, the level of carbon monoxide
    was 21.29 (milligram per metre) on The Mall, 17.52 in
    Mohlanwal, and 6.94 in Gulberg’s Liberty Market as
    against the maximum permissible limit of 5.

    Measures to Save Trees:

    • Reforestation:
    This method requires that every tree that gets
    cut down must be replanted.
    • Protect existing forests:
    In addition to the threat that humans pose for
    forests, they are also endangered by parasitic
    fungi, rusts and viruses. An effort should be
    made to administer pesticide or some other
    treatment in order to destroy the parasites.
    Measures to Save Trees:

    • Regular and planned cutting of trees.


    1.Clear cutting 2. Selective cutting 3. Shelter wood
    cutting.
    • The government must take action to save
    forests by passing acts against illegal cutting of
    trees.
    Conclusion
    If not Earth then where do we
    think life will exist?
