How do forests help prevent soil erosion?

Forests prevent soil erosion by holding soil together with their dense roots and vegetation, reducing the impact of wind and water.

How do forests regulate oxygen and carbon dioxide levels?

Forests provide a vital role in the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and releasing oxygen, often known as "the green lungs of our planet."

How do forests contribute to rainfall?

Forests release water vapor through transpiration, increasing atmospheric humidity, leading to cloud formation and rainfall.

What valuable resources do forests provide?

Forests offer diverse resources, such as timber, wood pulp, rubber, spices, medicines, and fuel, providing valuable materials for human use and economic development.
