Question 6(iv)

Give three reasons why we must conserve our forests.

Answer

We must conserve our forests because of the following reasons:

  1. Moderators of Climate — Forests play an effective role in controlling humidity, temperature and precipitation.
  2. Carbon Cycle — Forests absorb atmospheric Carbon dioxide and help in maintaining the purity of air and controlling atmospheric pollution.
  3. Water table — Forests help in water percolation and thereby maintain underground water table.
