LO-describe what the issues are in regards to the destruction of forests and what can be done to
regenerate the forests.

                    FORESTS

1.We use trees for the following:

    -Trees and forests provide a habitat for many species of animals and plants.
    -Trees provide shade and shelter, timber for construction, fuel for cooking and heating, and fruit for food as           well as having many other uses.
    -Trees are vital. As the biggest plants on the planet, they give us oxygen, store carbon, stabilise the soil and       give life to the world's wildlife.
    -Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases  and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on             their leaves and bark.
    -Trees reduce runoff by breaking rainfall thus allowing the water to flow down the trunk and into the         earth below the tree.
