medicinal products such as quinine and eucalyptus. In fact‚ most of the medicines that we use ultimately come to us through trees and vegetation. Trees play an important role in purifying the air around us. They breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen that sustains our life. Thus they make this world a better place to live in. Trees are also very necessary for having good rainfall. The trees attract rain bearing clouds and prevent soil erosion and conserve the earth. Our Government also realised

In this process‚ leaves also absorb other air pollutants—such as ozone‚ carbon monoxide‚ and sulfur dioxide—and give off oxygen. By planting trees and shrubs‚ we return to a more natural‚ less artificial environment. Birds and other wildlife are attracted to the area. The natural cycles of plant growth‚
