Afforestation🪴

Afforestation:
           Afforestation is the establishment of a forest or stand of trees in an area where there was no previous tree cover and also afforestation is the planting or adding of trees in an area where there was never a forest or plantation . this is a method to create a new forest.

  • Afforestation in turn increases the population of species and animals which exhibit selective feeding habits.
  • Forest should be restored as they maintained stable food chains and food webs.
  • plants and plant products must be maintained judiciously.
  • Wild life sanctuaries , national parks should be developed.
Steps to main Greenery:
  • More plants should be planted in villages to maintain greenery.
  • Plants should be planted on either side of the road in urban areas in order to reduce pollution.
  • Plants should be grown to maintain normal climatic conditions of that area.
  • Development of parks in every area should be encouraged.
  • Deforestation should be protested.
  • Laws should be formulated against deforestation.

Advantages:
  1. Forest Rebuilding:    when we cut down trees of a forest , we cause way too much damage to everything it comprises of . This cutting down happens for various reasons. we need wood , build homes and also for agricultural practices .All this results in loss of habitat , changes in climate as well as the loss of biological diversity.
  2. Creating new Forest:     when we practice afforestation in areas that had no forests , it gives us benefits of its own .Moreover ,this conversion of semiarid lands into forests makes them more sustainable and prevents soil erosion too.
  3. Flood control:    One of the greatest benefits of afforestation in definitely flood control . Through this method , we can enhance the water filtration. In addition, we can also control floods by planting more trees. Moreover, excessive sediment transport can be prevented too.
                           In other words, forests reduce the impact of flooding. It is able 
       to do so because it delays and reduces the size of the floods. Furthermore, it 
        scatters the water in a steadier way.
Disadvantages:
       While there are many advantages of afforestation , we also have various disadvantages
  • Moreover, it will also modify certain biomes. Additionally, when we will introduce non-native and invasive species it can damage biodiversity. It also reduces the streamflow and various people lose their income from agriculture.
  • Similarly, the native grasslands which we convert to forests might not have a similar habitat for local species. Thus, it will result in a lack of plant diversity which will, in turn, decrease the number of accessible habitat types for forest dwellers.

Environment 🌱

  Environment is everything that is present around us. It can be living or non-living things. It includes physical, chemical and other natural force.                         Basically,  environment plays an important role in healthy living and the existence of life on plant earth 🌍. Earth is the home for different living species and we all are dependent on the environment for food , air, water and other needs that it is important for every individual to save and protect an environment.    Environment awareness:          It involves the gradual understanding of environmental issues and the recognition of the connection among human actions development, sustainability and human responsibility in these process. Environment is essential to demonstrate how humans can protect and preserve there natural resources. Educating the population  can reduce the use of plastics and water 💦 waste while promoting recycling to reduce landfill waste.  Benefits:     The natural environment give us a weal

Natural Resources

Image
      Natural resources can be defined as the resources that exist on the planet independent of human actions.These are the resources that are found in the environment and are developed without the intervention of humans.           Based on the availability there are two types of natural resources . They are                 • Renewable resources                 • Non- renewable resources  Renewable R esources:                These are the resources that are naturally occurring, for example: sunlight🌞, water💦,soil . These are renewed easily by nature. These resources have been in nature and cannot be produced by man. Non-renewable resources:                These are the resources on earth 🌎 occur freely in nature but are in limited quantity. It will be depleted over time . Non- renewable energy includes fossils fuels such as coal and petroleum.

Biodiversity

  BIODIVERSITY:  Biodiversity means " Variability among living organisms".    Bio diversity is the variety and variability of genus , species and ecosystem between and within. It is the number of different organisms & their relative frequency in an ecosystem. The term biodiversity is coined by Walter rosen,1985. About 50 million of plants , animals and microbes are existing in the world. A mong this only 2 million are identified so far Biodiversity also includes: Variability of species , variability of genus , variability of varieties , variability of population in different ecosystem , variability in relative abundance of species. Knowledge of biodiversity is essential for sustainable utilization of resources. Biological resource provide us: Nourishment , clothing , house , fuel , medicine and revenue.  LEVELS OF BIODIVERSITY :                 Biodiversity is the most precious gift of nature the mankind is blessed with. The uniqueness of our planet earth is due to the pr
