Forests in Nepal
Our country, Nepal is without no doubt gifted with natural beauties, gifts, resources , and wonders, miracles and many more. The forest is one of these resources which is available in our country Nepal. Nepal is also a mountainous country. Most of the mountains and hills in our country are covered with green forests. It is a habitat for animals and birds. Nowadays, the people are destroying the forests in a rapid way but it was completely safe in the past.
People clear the forest for various purposes. Population growth is absolutely one of the most important reasons for its rapid destruction. The high growing population is compelled to clear the jungle for the purpose of agriculture and settlement. People cut down the trees for firewood, building materials and furniture and many more reasons. Cattle Grazing is also one the top most reason for the destruction of the forests in our country as the cattle grazers take their domestic animals to the jungle to graze. As a result, these domestic animals eat up the newly growing plants. Thus, the new grown plants become vulnerable and die easily. Forest fire is also the prominent cause of the destruction of the forests as the silly people set the fire in the jungle. By the result of forest fire caused by the people, it destroys the whole jungle very badly. The main cause of its destruction is poor awareness of the people about the importance and advantages of the the forests. The people who are uneducated cannot understand the importance and necessity of the forests. Consequently, the valuable and precious forest is destroyed by such silly uneducated people.
Forest destruction undoubtedly invites many disasters. Some of the the destructive disasters resulted by the forest destruction are over floods, drought, landslides, soil erosion, siltation of rivers and lakes, extremes weather, pollution, green house effect, ozone layer depletion and desertification The natural disasters as such are extremely destructive for all the living creatures. If the process of destruction of the forest is not controlled on time, the future will be definitely extremely risky.
We can get many advantages from the jungle. We can preserve wild animals in the jungle. We can get firewood, timber, herbs grass, etc. from the jungle. It helps us to purify the atmosphere and reduce air pollution. Underground water resources can be observed and saved in the forest. It also helps us to balance ecosystem.

Similarly, the forest of our country attracts many tourists as we can see them visiting beautiful greenery forests of our country. We can earn foreign currency from them. Natural beauty cannot be preserved without the protection of the forest.
Preservation of the forest is crucial. In order to control the natural disasters, we have to preserve the jungle at any cost. We can preserve the forest in many ways. Firstly, we have to educate and aware the people about the importance and advantages of the forest. Afforestation and reforestation programmes should be run all over the country. The people who clear the jungle for agriculture and settlement should be discouraged and strictly punished. We can preserve our forest by establishing many wild life reserves and national parks. Establishment of the community forest should be given high priority and it should be encouraged. Selling of firewood and timber should be banned to preserve it.
In conclusion, our forest should be preserved at any cost. The government as well as private sectors are expected to make and apply concrete plans to preserve the forest. It is said that preservation of the forests is our own preservation.
