Essay On Forests The Use Of Forests.Forests form an important part of the wealth of a country; and in Pakistan, the preservation of the forests is so important that it has long been taken over by the Government, and is in charge of the Government Forest Department. Forests make the country beautiful. They are real wealth of the country. Govt. is doing its best to make the forests better.
Forests have a great influence up'on climate; for they attract rain and preserve moisture -- an important matter in a dry country like Pakistan. The leaves of a tree are always giving off moisture; and this constant evaporation cools the surrounding atmosphere. In consequence, when moisture-laden winds blow over a forest, the moisture they carry is condensed and forms clouds, and these dissolve in rain.
This is not mere theory. It has been proved that the destruction of forests of any extent quickly changes the climate of the while district. Whereas before it had an abundant rainfall, after disafforestation the rainfall became scanty, the land went out of cultivation and became an arid desert. On the other hand. afforestation, or the planting of forests, will turn a desert into a well- watered and fertile district Further, forests on hill sides do much to prevent destructive floods When hcavy rain falls on bare hills, it rushes down at once to the plains in roaring torrents, carrying parts of the hill with it, and floodirg the country below.
But when the hills are covered with forests, the tree and the spongy soil they create absorb a large part of the water, and allow the rest to flow down to the plains quietly and without any destructive effects. Bare hills causes erosion while forest irrigates the fields. Forests enhance the beauty of the country as well. Greenery has soothing effects on the eyes.
Forest products, especially timber, form an important part of a nation's wealth. The Pakistani forests supply all the timber that is required in the country, and much is exported, the sale of it bringing in a very respectable revenue to the State. The most beautiful furniture is made of wood and it is got from the forest. Wood work is common all ove the world but forest. Is the only source of it.
Forests also provide abundant fuel to the districts near by, and so enable tht zamindar to keep the dungs for enriching their lands, instead of being obliged to burn this valuable manure as fuel. Most of the.yillagcrs burn wood to make food. They can use this fuel on cheaper rates.
The planting and preservation of forests is therefore a matter of great importance. Every government tries its best to make the country more and more green. Without forest, we cannot have even wild life. Forests art, very important for the wild life as well.
