large part of our forests was cleared for industrial uses, cultivation,
pastures and fuel wood. Thus, a necessity of increasing the area under forests

(i) To maintain the ecological balance It is
necessary for maintaining ecological balance and absorption of carbon dioxide.
(ii) To regulate the flow of rivers Forests
regulate the flow of rivers both in the rainy and dry seasons by absorbing or
releasing water systematically. In this way, they reduce the chances of both
floods and droughts.
(iii) To provide natural habitat to wildlife
Forests provide natural habitat to wildlife and in this way they held in their
