Importance of forests for life:

Forest is a beautiful gift of our nature to us.

This precious gift of nature has a special significance in human life. He has not, however, met many of our everyday needs, and has played an important role in balancing the environment. Forests have many advantages, where air pollution is controlled, they also contribute significantly to the stability of the climate. Rain is formed by stopping the clouds and thus providing us water like nectar. It contributes to stopping natural calamities like floods and landslides.

Forests which enrich biodiversity by providing protection to animals are the same industry from which they get raw material.

Utility of forests:

How much of the utility that forests have for us can be judged from the fact that we get distinct medicinal plants and herbs from these forests which give us stability and medicine system of our country provides base to Ayurveda. You can get a glimpse of the forest wherever you look, whether it is decorated with wood, wood, paper, toys and rubber or anything else. There are many types of spices, which are derived from forests, like the millions of other life - useful substances we get from forests, the silkworms etc. How indebted are these forests to us for giving us many invaluable gifts.

Why the need for feel forest conservation?:

Forests cause rainfall to give us the water of life, and we soon find our fields getting green and we raise geological water levels. They balance the climate and their roots prevent earth and soil erosion. Forests also help us to avoid waste of water in storage. It is our great blessing to have such life in the form of oxygen by absorbing poisonous gases like carbon dioxide. It is a good - nature tendency to maintain the environment and keep the atmosphere clean. In fact, if we have to learn to do good things, then these forests should only be taken from them. The people who call jungles lifeless probably live in delusion, forests are not lifeless.

Only then do the Birds Berths say that Touch the forest with gentle hands because the forests have soul too.

REAL HUMAN LUNGS

The imbalanced expansion of shrinking forests and forests in India:

In view of the utility of forests and beneficence of forests on us it is necessary to focus towards conserving forests. We have to understand that it is only when the forests survive that we can survive. The theme of misery is that we exploited forests indiscriminately to serve our self - interests and desolate them. Because of which the forests began to shrink. Had we given attention to conservation of forest, this would not have been created. Under the first forest policy of freedom India of the year 1952 and the new national forest policy implemented in 1988, one - third of the land area of the country with forest conservation was targeted to conserve forests which could not be achieved till date. Indiscriminate felling of forests is the result of not being an ideal condition of expansion of forests in our country. The Indian forest status report 2013 data show that the country 's total forest cover and tree cover cover only 24.01% of India' s total geographical area. This includes forest cover and tree cover. However, the total forest cover is only 21.13% of the geographical area of the country. This is not a very satisfactory situation which shows that we have not been able to discharge the responsibility of protecting the forests. While it becomes our moral and legal responsibility to protect forests, the governor in India also sees wide disparity in the spread of forests. In the states like Madhya- pradesh, Arunachal pradesh, Chitchatting, Maharashtra and Orissa where the percentage of area is good, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Bihar and Gujarat are some of the states where the percentage of forests is very low. This imbalance of expanse of forests is irreversible which draws attention towards greater forest conservation.

Government beginning of forest conservation:

For various reasons, we have not been able to conserve our forests first and foremost is the indiscriminate deforestation and complete our needs, and in doing so we did not pay any attention to the forests at all. If at the same time we were conserving forests, it would not have been possible for the decomposing of forests. Forests are also widely exploited for firewood and other needs. Forest fires are a major cause of forest fire, and their outbreaks are great during the summer season and Wide scale off burns to froth this fire leaving no one whether small trees or large it's woe.

It is ironical to say that effective measures to prevent forest fires have not been able to do so till today. Our forest department and other related departments have always failed in prevention of forest fires. The forest department has neither enough training nor adequate resources to prevent forest fires and as a result large forests are destroyed due to the fire at one blow which takes years to flourish. For forest conservation we have to stop the destruction of such forest happening and create a comprehensive action plan for. One of the major reasons for deforestation is the increasing population, and the larger the need for agricultural land.

To cater to this, forests were targeted and trees were harvested and farms were made thereby decreasing forest.

Why not met government starters expected results? :

Forest conservation is not only our moral social responsibility but also govt's responsibility to expand forests to beat stream. The government has also understood this responsibility. Expansion of forests in India many wild programme have been run by the central government to meet the 33.33 %. Which among the major is the social forestry programme. The national agriculture commission of 1976 first used the term social forestry; the objective of social forestry is to supply firewood and timber for rural population. It undertakes the management and protection of afforestation of community, private and user lands for anti - environmental and rural development.

Under it, the responsibility for their protection, development and use is entrusted to the people of the same region.

Urban bani rural bani and farm forestry is a part of social forestry system. Urban forestry aims at planting maximum number of trees on public and private land in and around the cities. The areas covered are parks along the green belt roads, industrial establishments, government and administrative locations, campus, commercial places, educational institutions, and other places of public importance. It is noteworthy that forests on land of eight to 10 per cent of the cities are required under rural bani. Farm forestry and community forestry have been maintained. Farm forestry means agriculture and forestry are carried out simultaneously. Under it, trees are planted on cultivable waste land and crops are grown. As it will benefit the whole community hence it is called community forestry efforts are being made to link people who do not have farm land. Start of planting in the farm is slightly different. in it fields are of trading importance or other useful kind of trees planted. It provides support to small and medium farmers and makes them available free plants. Under farm plantation, that vacant land is utilized very neatly in farming villages, available in grass fields near the house in bunds of meadows.

Need for voluntary beginnings:

While the central role played by the government of India in implementing the programmed for social plantation in the country, countries like USA, Canada, Sweden and the world bank have also extended its support. It is true that the central government is making all efforts for the development of forests and a number of programme are being pursued in the direction that efforts are being made by the government to extend green - border not only through social afforestation but also providing national parks and sanctuaries for forest conservation. A number of bird sanctuaries have also been set up for the development of afforestation and forest area, where the Indian council of forestry research and education and the council of education and be national, the council for plantation and Eco - development is ready, we also have adequate legislation to protect forests. However, if they are not getting the expected results, then the main reason behind them is corruption in government. Bogus and paper data are more projected by government departments. Less solid work. That is why government undertakings in the expansion of forests are showing expected results.

Must have developed forest culture:

The work of forest conservation will bring colour in the true sense only if the voluntary social for it first. When the seedlings are planted, the illegal cutting of forests may be resisted as the chipko movement has started in our country in the Gopeshwar of Chamoli district of Uttarakhand in the present year 1973. The main aim of this movement was to stop illegal felling of trees in Himachali area. under chipko movement illegal felling symbolically. Because of this, the name 'chipko' movement was the pioneer of this movement. Eminent environmental experts Sunderlal Bahuguna and Chandi Prasad Bhatt. The movement was only enlightened, it had positive results. On the lines of the movement, it was launched that the corresponding Appiko movement was led by the Panurang Hegra of Karnataka with the objective of promoting forest planting and focusing more and more on its conservation.

APPIKO MOVEMENT

CHIPCO MOVEMENT

This movement also laid special emphasis on the judicious use of forests to be ensured.

Conclusion:

From the above description it is obvious that there was a culture in our country which gave a wide attention to the existence of forests and when trouble came on it our nature lovers got disturbed and they went ahead and outplayed the growth of forests and we have to keep alive our closed culture for the protection of forests.
