The Importance of Trees in the Forest

Forests occupy a big part of the world. They also play an important role for nature and people. They give many advantages. People can make many products from them,such as rattan,timber,pine trees,teak trees,and so on. They can also make other products from the trees,like chemicals,turpentine,tar,and many more. Moreover,the wood can also be used as fuel. It can also be used as lumber for construction purposes. As a matter of fact,trees in the forest asborb rain. In this way, it becomes a water supply for the area nearby. Furthermore,it functions as a recervoir.
When the trees are cut down,there is not any protection for the soil. Therefore,when the rain comes,the soil will be blown away,causing erosion, landslide and floods. There are not any roots of trees which can prevent the soil to erode.
Even though people have already known about it,many of them still ignore it. They keep cutting down trees without doing any reforestation. They just cut them down then abandon the area to move on to another forest area to cut more. In fact, many people cut and burn the forests to clear the area for farming.
