Trees are essential for the existence of the human race as they
provide the oxygen that we need to survive. Yet, daily all around the globe,
large areas of woodland are being destroyed. Many people feel that they as
individuals can do nothing and that only governments and large companies can
halt the destruction. To what extent do you agree with this?

| Trees Are Important For Human Kind |
Rapidly shrinking forest
cover has raised serious concerns among many countries and has shifted the
focus of global society to finding viable ways of saving the planet from
ecological disaster. Many environmentalists have come up with numerous
suggestions and have called for individual participation but most people are
clueless about this, though there are some who feel otherwise.
Common people would hardly be
able to make any noticeable impact in a program of such colossal dimensions due
to lack of necessary resources and authority to carry out such tasks.
Initiatives aiming at saving green cover need infusion of extensive resources
including money and manpower, and individual citizens do not have access to
both. Furthermore, there is a lack of direction among citizens and most prefer
to stay away from making contributions in such social initiatives. People feel
that it would impossible for any program at the community level to survive in
the long run without tangible contributions from government and corporate
sector.
Moreover, schemes such as saving Jungles need
involvement of many countries at global level as saving greenery is not the responsibility
of a single nation or an individual because this kind of initiative cannot make
a big impact until and unless there is a full blooded intervention by various
countries.
However, many people feel
that each person can make sizable contributions. Any noble mission must start
from the grass root level and it is people who can create awareness in the
society about the ill effects of deforestation and generate public opinion
aimed at protecting green cover.
In conclusion, I personally
feel that although it is hard for people to go alone on this difficult and
rather uphill task but their contributions in saving forest cover still can go
a long way.
