Explain how we depend on forests, directly or indirectly

Mamta · Accepted Answer

Forests directly or indirectly playing an important role to
keep or maintained our environment healthy and clean Forests serve
as water purifier and also called as green lungs of environment
Forests are so vast as they maintained a network of food chains
called as food web In the atmosphere, forests maintained the
balance between O2 â€‹and
CO2 and also they act as natural absorber of rainwater
and prevents floods
Forests provides timber and wood used in manufacturing
furniture and other products include latex, turpine which is used
in manufacturing rubber The medicinal plants and trees that are
present in the forests such as cinchona tree, tulsi etc were used
in making medicines Most of the animals get vegetables & fruits
as a source of food provided by the forests
If there were no forests means there were no plants and trees
consequently, less oxygen in air would lead to global warming If
there were no forests the entire food chain get disturbed, the
animals will not get food and shelter which is provided by forests
Also the useful product that we get from forests such as timber and
medicines would not be available as a result of poor maintenance of
forests or if there were no forests
