The main theme of this year’s Environment Day is the revival of ecosystem. Human life cannot be imagined without nature. It is necessary to understand the importance of the relationship of human beings with trees, plants, forests, mountains, rivers, lakes and land etc. Living with the spirit of companionship and peace with nature is the need of the hour.
Trees and vegetation are an important link in the ecosystem. The presence of dense trees and abundant vegetation indicates that the ecosystem is safe and active. Today natural resources are being adversely affected due to the necessity of development.The adverse consequences of man-made imbalances in the environmental system are surfacing in the form of climate change, imbalance in biodiversity and epidemics. So we have to keep our environment clean. In order to keep the atmosphere pure and increase the availability of oxygen, trees must be planted in a larger number.
