Trees are Beautiful, Useful But Seriously Threatened

However, trees are nowadays seriously threatened.  With industrialisation throughout the world, the trees are greatly affected by the smoke, dust and toxic gases from factory chimneys and also from the exhaust pipes of motor vehicles which have infested the whole world.  The smoke and dust block the leaves of trees and the tree cannot produce food and usually results in the death of leaves, then the tree itself.  By the introduction of factories using chemical gases, these toxic gases are released in the air and become acid rain.  This acid rain, when falls, attacks the leaves of trees.  The trees consequently lose their leaves and die.  Another problem which threatens trees is the pest.  Pests are plants or bushes, for example, the “Goyaves de Chine” which are mostly important from foreign countries which are obstacles in the growth of trees.  Before the trees are at middle height, the pests creep over and strangle the tree.  But finally, the trees’ most awful enemy is man.  To build buildings, houses, roads…, man has out down large areas of dense forests which were the habitats of several wild animals.  They have cut off the trees without realising their importance just to get mood for furniture just to get mood for furniture, papers….  In the end, people are punished for their mistakes as they are washed away by soil erosions, they suffer from droughts….
