essay on forest Festival
Plantation refers to planting a large number of trees. As we all know that the tree is an important part of our nature and our life, it is useless to imagine our nature and our life without them. Earlier, forests were spread over about 50 percent of our land area, but due to the cutting of trees, this percentage has reached less than 30 percent. And to see the ill effects of cutting down trees, we do not have to go far or do any research globally. We can estimate it by small changes that have come around us.
In today’s time, opening of newspapers in the morning, water scarcity, harm to human beings by entering wild animals in cities and villages is very common, but if we consider it is our responsibility. If we snatch the living space of the creatures, then they will come towards the cities and their coming towards the cities is the reason for our fear. In today’s time, forest is the only money mine for smugglers of wood, they just want money even if they have to pay for it with the life of someone.
In view of the harvesting of forests, one day was dedicated to tree plantation by the Government of India, which is known as Van Mahotsav, let us know what is this Vanamotsav.
