What is Forest and Wildlife
Forests and Wildlife: A forest is a large area of land that is dominated

by trees, aquatic biomes, animals belonging to several species, and
a million varieties of microorganisms. We can find many wild animals
present in the forests. Forests and wildlife are interdependent in the
environment.

Conservation Of
Forest
Conservation of forest is the practice of planting more trees and maintaining

the forested areas for the sustainability for future generations. Forests are an
important natural resource and are beneficial to humans in several ways. But
due to increasing deforestation activities, it has become essential to
conserve forests throughout the world. Deforestation is the permanent
destruction or loss of forests for the expansion of lands for agriculture,
livestock, etc. The process of destructing forests for the expansion of
Ways to conservation
Foreste
1.With the advent of industrialization, several trees have been cut at an alarming rate for
raw materials and various other purposes. This felling of trees can be regulated by selective
cutting, clear-cutting and shelterwood cutting.
2.Forest fires are one of the common causes of loss of forests. Sometimes the forest land is
set on fire to make the land available for commercial purposes. Once cleared, there can be
no vegetation. Natural forest fires are also responsible for the destruction of huge forest
covers. Latest fire fighting techniques should be adopted to conserve the forest. However,
forest fires are an important part of the ecosystem and it helps replenish nutrients in the soil
from dead and decaying matter.
3.More trees should be planted to increase the forest cover. Trees should be selected
according to the geographical conditions of a particular region and proper care should be
taken during the growth of trees.

Of Forest
If you’ve ever taken a walk in a forest, you know how rewarding that experience can be.
Imagine you’re in a forest right now. Can you hear the wind blowing through the leaves and
the songs of birds? Do you feel like you’ve become a part of something bigger than yourself?
Forests play a symbolic role in many of humanity’s oldest stories. They are often a place of
transformation, mystery, and even danger. In folk tales, trees can take on a life of their own,
providing a connection between the physical and spiritual realms. Tragically, the world’s
