The state of our environment today is due to the broadening issues arising from loss of biodiversity, inappropriate means of disposing of waste , overpopulation, the depletion of natural resources, and increased deforestation. These affect natural habitats, produces acid rain and destroys the ozone layer because of global warming.

Planting trees encourages the absorption of carbon dioxide, one of the key greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. Restoring forests, then, would mean more protection for native wildlife, nurturing local biodiversity and the overall stewardship of the environment. Flood risks are alleviated.
