Protect forests for environmental conservation

Climate pattern of a region depends on the extent of the area of the forests in it.People, plants and animals depend on the environment, and vice versa.Good environment is essential for fulfilling basic needs of world people, and for all living things to survive.Deforestation is usually followed by climate changes, drought, and damage to farmlands along with hindrance to food productivity.Myanmar has sufficient amount of farmland and water for agricultural purpose, and temperate climate. So, it contributes not only to local but also to global food security.In Myanmar, water, land and forest resources are conserved and protected systematically. In the process, it designates and conserves forest reserves, wildlife parks and sanctuaries under the Forest Law.Mangrove forests need conservation for protection of fish, prawn and crab that are the main source of meat for the people.Good environment prevents landslides and air pollution, keeps water and air clean,restores scenic natural beauty, maintains soil fertile, protects animals, and conserves watershed areas.So, the entire people have to conserve the environment collectively for prevention of environmental degradation and perpetual existence of woodlands.
