Conservation of forests are important, because they 'breathe in' the carbon dioxide that earth's inhabitants emit. As they do this oxygen is released into the atmosphere. Without forests or trees planted anywhere, the earth's atmosphere would become to unhealthy for life to survive or form for that matter. Some shrubs and plants also help in this manner. Houseplants can help with the air in your home.

Conservation is the wise and judicious use of resources.To preserve the quality of environment i.e; maintain a pollution-free environment.To ensure a continuous yield of useful plants,animals,,materials for the generations to come.If we don't conserve forests the animals will not get shelter to live.There will be no rainfall instead there will be soil erosion.The negligent people who cut the trees or kill the animals should be brought to justice .
In summer the grass is very dry.Any spark can set it on fire.The people should not throw butts of burning bidis carelessly in the dry grass.It leads to large economic loss.
Timberwood should be used when it is absolutely necessary.
To reduce deforestation we must recycle waste paper by converting it into pulp.
The cleared forest land should be replanted with fast growing grass and bamboo.
So we must encourage to grow as many trees as possible.

Forests are considered one of the most beneficial endownments of mother earth. But today due to urbanisation, we are cutting down huge streaches of forests and at the same time aren't taking any step to replenish this crucial resource.
Today the conservation of these forests have become the need of the hour, because if we keep cutting down these woods at this rate the time is not far when we will have no trees to cut.
So, it is essential that we also take initiative in planting new trees along with our tendency of cutting it down.

as of to day we talk about global warming and earth getting deteriorated by melting the polar ice mountains increasing the mean sea level

at the same time trees in forest are also cut and thus inducing the de forestataion ,
actually these trees are the ones which makes the cloud to cool off when they tend to produce rain , the cloud in the sky need to be cooled to convert in to water droplets , the trees aid the action thus producing rain non conservation of these forests is de forestation
