Forests are our 'green lungs'. They consume the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis and release oxygen, which we need for breathing. Clearing of forests not only destroys precious natural resources but also drastically cuts down our supply of oxygen. Rain forests are also important for preserving the Earth's climate. They accumulate moisture, release a part of it into the air, and thus control the movement of air masses.
