Is it ok to Cut Trees in the Name of Development?

It is especially unjustifiable. The quantity of trees in the city is as of now lacking. We can't uphold a drive that fells trees. This will set a model, empowering individuals to chop down trees for the sake of advancement.

In super urban communities in created nations, each resident approaches a recreation area within a 30-minute strolling distance. Besides, we want more vegetation because our populace thickness is higher. The tree populace isn't solid, yet trees are continually being hacked off for the sake of a metropolitan turn of events.

According to a review, in a couple of years, around 10,000 trees have been felled for different tasks, which incorporate the aggressive ventures of the Central Business District (CBD), the BRTS Corridor, and the savvy city. A report of GSEED, an association working in the field of climate, brings up that the trees are being cut at a quick rate in India. The report expresses that somewhat recently (2009-19) around 6 lakh trees have been sliced in India and because of this Bhopal's woodland cover has contracted to a simple 9% in 2019 from 35% in 2009. The report additionally educated that among the felled trees, a few were as long as 50 years of age.

Chopping down trees implies that we have a lesser number of tree species left and this diminishes the biodiversity. Plants discharge oxygen into the climate and a lesser number of trees implies that we will have lesser oxygen content in the air. Chopping the trees down implies harming the climate and creatures. So trees ought not to be chopped down only for Development.
