Notes
Discuss and share
▶ Q1:Why are forests important?
Forests are very important because they provide us with clean air
and water.They help to clean the air by taking in carbon dioxide
and giving out oxygen.Also,forests are home to many animals and plants,so they help to keep our planet diverse and beautiful.
Without forests,many species would disappear,and our world
would be less colorful.
Discuss and share
▶Q2:What can we do to protect them?
To protect forests,we can start by planting more trees.Planting trees
helps to replace those that have been cut down.Also,we should avoid
using products made from trees unless they come from places that
grow new trees after cutting old ones.We can also recycle paper and
reduce waste to help save trees.By doing these things,we can help keep our forests healthy and full of life.
