Question Discuss:
What do you think is a forest?
If someone grew lots of trees close to each other, would this become a forest?
Answer:
Forests are the places on the Earth where lots of trees, plants and animals live in association with each other. Some human beings also live inside the forests. They are called adivasis.
No, planting lots of trees close to each other does not make a forest. Forests are the natural places on Earth where plants and animals are found living in association with each other.
Question Find Out and Write:
Other than trees what all is there in a forest?
Do all forests have similar types of trees? How many trees can you identify?
Suryamani says, “If the forests are not there, we too will not remain.” Why so?
