It's really sad to see all the forests leave our beautiful communities, many suburban areas that were once forested and lush green are now bareen, because trees are being removed for reasons such as construction, "the tree is blocking the view", the tree is "dangereous" - not, and other various reasons - what do you think? WHat can we do to start increasing the national forest cover?

BArren Hill and Suburb Area Road - THis photo is exposing the suburb area road with a background of barren hill! Irony is this that this hill was green before 30 years and road was not there just a simple pathway for village dwellers!
Deforestation is the creation of urban society! And irony is that the urban societies are talking about deforestation and conservation of forest areas! I am working in the field of environment since last 23 years as a communicator and i felt that this is a hypocracy of urban people, showing unknowingly! We talk about vegetation, urban green belts, green galories, green restarants, green tarrace clubs/ hubs and so on! But deforestation is happening behind this shows and forests are cut for furniture, building matirials and fuel! Selling of forest woods and forest products are costly in the urban market and earning ratio is very high! Naturally what will happen then? aforestation?? NO, MANMADE DEFORESTATION!
