Man is thoroughly dependent on trees
to satisfy many of his wants. Food
timber medicine firewood and shade
are some of them. Sri lanka is rich
with and array of tree species which
provide for almost every requirement
of it’s nation. But as depletion trees
is on the rise we seem to lose this
gift of nature almost completely in
the near future.
The destruction of our natural
vegetation
is said to have begun in the reign
of the british. They destroyed trees
for the cultivation of commercial crops
such as tea and coffee.
The destruction of trees in turn drstroyed
the pleasant climate of our country. Thus
unless we strive to reforest our land our
country will become an arid desert at the end.
