Respect life ,nature and planet Earth by saving the forests It is not just the aesthetic value of the verdant forests which is so pleasing to a human eye which the forests gifts us but also life sustainability to 90% of the terrestrial biodiversity (including us) harboured by it in its 30% share on the earth surface.

About 45 % of the forests though decreasing are still unexplored. It contains the world’s rarest medicinal plants and its resources are key ingredients to many useful products. Yet we are oblivious of the importance of it. We take it for granted.
