“Give back the forest, take your town”, says
Rabindranath Tagor. By these lines he tries to convince us about the importance
of trees. Tree plantation means planting trees more and more. It is not
possible to lead a happy and peaceful life without trees.
Lands in the upper valley of a river are
more suitable for the growth and development of forest. But Bangladesh is a
lower riparian country. For this reason, we have no rich forest resource. Our
forest resources constitute with the forest of bhawal, Madhupur, Chittagong
Hills tracts and the famous Sundarbans.
Some people inconsiderately cut down trees
everywhere. They do not think the destruction of forests can destroy the
environmental system. For this, Bangladesh
is going to be turned into a desert. At this, we may face the problems of
flood, soil erosion, drought etc. It is a great threat to our environment.
Trees play an importance role in our
daily life. In order to live we need oxygen. Trees give us that oxygen. They
give us foods and fruits. They also provide us shelter. We get timber from
trees and without timber we cannot make our houses, furnitures, boats,
launches, ships etc. If trees are plated on the banks of rivers and prevent air
pollution. Trees protect the country from the harmful green house effect.
To preserve our environment we should
plant more and more trees. Trees plantation programme should be expanded to the
remote corner of the country. The officers connected with this programme should
take proper steps and needful measures to make it success. Government should
take necessary steps to make the people interested in planting trees.
Trees are part and parcel of our life.
The necessity of trees and the importance of tee plantation cannot be ignored
in any way. So it is our bounden duty to p;ant trees and take care of them.
