Forest provides multiple
benefits to the environment, people, and animals.
The list of benefits is as follows
·Forest helps in to cool air temperature by
release of water vapor into the air.
·At day time trees generate oxygen and store
carbon dioxide, which helps to
clean air.
·Forest attracts wildlife and offer food
and protection to them.
·Forests offer privacy, reduce light reflection, offer a sound barrier and help
guide wind direction and
speed.
·Trees offer artistic functions such as
creating a background, framing a view, complementing
architecture, and so on.
·Well managed forests supply higher quality
water with less impurity than
water from other resources.
·Some forests raise the total water stream, but
this is not true for all forests.
·Forests help in controlling the level of floods.
·Forest provides different kinds of wood which
are used for different purposes like making furniture, paper, and
pencils and so on.
·Forest helps in giving the direction of the wind and its speed.
·Forest helps in keeping the environment healthy
and beautiful.
·Forests also minimize noise pollution.
·Forest helps the scientist to invent new
medicine as the forest has a different kind of plants and
herb.
All benefits quoted above
are purely the outcome of forests and cannot be derived from agriculture. If the cost of these is calculated
in terms of money, it will be far above the outcome/benefits
of agriculture.
