Why plant trees

We plant trees in order to reduce deforestation. Deforestation can be reduced by reforestation i.e planting trees again.

People need to plant trees in order to curd climate changes which are caused by excessive cutting down of tress.

Forests contribute significantly to national economies through recreation and tourism. For example, 3.5 million people visited Zimbabwe 150 conservation areas between 1991 and 1999, helping fuel a five-fold increase in tourism for the country.

Medicine come from trees therefore people must stop cutting down tree. Zimbabwean forests are home to the greatest plant biodiversity in the world, and are the source of essential pharmaceutical ingredients. Up to 50 percent of pharmaceuticals on the market today have an origin in natural products, and 42 percent of the top 25 selling drugs worldwide are derived from natural products.

Tropical forests cover only 12 percent of the planet but are home to more than one-half of the Earth’s known plants and animal species. At the current rate of deforestation, tropical rain forests will virtually disappear as functioning ecosystems within 100 years. Deforestation also degrades important natural resources, like supplies of clean fresh water. In addition, the massive burning of forests can lead to severe air pollution both locally and thousands of miles away.
