Save our Trees



Alarming rate of Deforestation

Extreme Weathers
Forests are important in the fight against greenhouse gasses which are impacting climate change. Less forest also mean less rains which is dangerous for agriculture, except in the raining season in which rain is due to less air pressure in the atmosphere forest also the remedies of flood. They absorb water and ensure that it is filtered, sustained, and gradually available for consumption. Their degradation does not only impact forest cover ratio of a country, it also leads to real life problems such as soil erosion, damaged watershed areas, leading to pollution in water bodies and endangering water availability in the long term.
