IMPORTANCE OF TREES

Trees apart from their socioeconomic importance play a significant role is capturing carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis, six molecules of water is combined with six molecules of carbon dioxide to produce a single molecule of a simple carbohydrate glucose. Simultaneously six molecules of oxygen is given off. 

When a tree is felled, the role it plays in carbon capturing and storage is lost.
Because of this very important  role trees play, our forests need to be managed sustainably.
