forests are very important for their products. They are also important to keep

the soil fertile and to prevent flood. The fallen leaves and decayed plants become

humus which makes the soil rich and holds the rainwater.

)or many years, people have not been obeying the government*s regulations.

They have been cutting down the forest trees carelessly. As a result, thousands of

hectares of land have become worse and the rivers will be full of mud. In the wet

season there will be erosion and floods which will destroy the farm lands and

villages.
