Since the dawn of civilization, man has a close relationship with trees. Trees produce oxygen and reduce carbondioxide and thus make the atmosphere healthy. They give shade and shelter to people, wild life and birds. We get wood from trees which is an essential item for house building and furniture. Fruits and many kinds of edible stuffs are produced from trees. We also can earn a lot of money by selling fruits and timber.

But it is a great regret that we are cutting down trees in such a huge number that the country is going to be a treeless desert and we all will die.
