The world of today is facing many environment problems Global warming, Ozone depletion and environment pollution are burning issues are across the globe solution of these problem lies in planting more trees on earth.
<br/>
<br/> Green Pakistan program is a step towards mitigating the environmental problems of the world. Green Pakistan program means the plantation of trees in all parts of the country. Billion trees tsunami program has been launched by government of Pakistan to make the country green.
<br/>
<br/> According to the international standards, area under forest should be at least 20 percent of the total land inhabited by the human population. In United States the statistics of forest area are almost 33 percent and in India this ratio is 23 percent. The forest area of China is 22 percent of the total land area. But the area lowered by forests in our country is about 4.8 percent of the total land of our country.
<br/>
<br/> We must bear in mind the reality that plants and trees are the prime source of environment purification and beautification. Trees inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen, reduce temperature and create health effect on human beings both physically and psychologically.
<br/>
<br/> Trees provide pollution free atmosphere and counter the unhealthy activities of human beings that bring harmful and damaging effects to the atmosphere. Trees help in the spiritual growth of a person and save him from depression and frustration. Trees develop positive feelings like love tenderness, courtesy, generosity, happiness and satisfaction in human beings.
<br/>
<br/> Trees are the ornaments of the environment. The turn the deserts into an earth paradise. They are the glamour, glory grandeur and beauty the world of the human beings. They provide natural abode to bird’s animals and human beings.
<br/>
<br/> They provide them food as well as shelter without trees the atmosphere present a barren look. Along with providing oxygen and beauty, trees provide us protection against floods and other natural disasters. Trees are the amazing objects and nature and we learn from them the precious secrets of life. They teach us invaluable passions of endurance, tolerance and sacrifice.
<br/>
<br/> It is a matter of great grief that the percentage of trees plantation in Pakistan is very low and slow. It is a pity to see that the country that has the blessing of many rivers has very little greenery. The greatest tragedy is that we are bent upon cutting down the trees that were planted by our ancestors. It is a very great full sight that every other day numerous trees are being felled sometimes to expand the roads and sometimes to construct new building.
<br/>
<br/> We are losing more and more trees sometimes for unplanned industrialization and sometimes for construction materials. We are cutting trees sometimes for firewood and sometimes for making furniture articles for our household and offices.
