Forests are the lungs of nature that provide oxygen for us to breathe, survive and maintain a healthy ecosystem. It has been a source of livelihood for millions of plants and animals. Forests provide food, fuel, and raw materials for human beings to use and prosper.

But unfortunately, due to events like globalization, industrialization, population explosion, agricultural expansion, and various other seasons, forests are being cut down without realizing the impact that it will have on the planet. From climate change to the extinction of animals to soil erosion and desertification, deforestation will have a long-lasting and fatal impact on the earth and its ecosystem.
