Forest is vitally important ecologically. Forests make up the most diverse biomes in the world, and more terrestial species of organisms live in forests more than any other ecosystem.
If you don't care about the ecology behind it, then know that forests produce a huge proportion of the oxygen you breathe, along with getting rid of a huge proportion of the CO2 we emit

New pine and eucalyptus plantations in NSW are established on existing cleared land. The larger the area of plantations established and the faster they grow, the more carbon dioxide will be removed from the atmosphere, thus reducing imbalance in the Greenhouse Effect.
Forests and forest products have an important role in reducing Greenhouse gases. Young, actively-growing regrowth forests and plantations take in large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air. Older and mature forests are an important storehouse of carbon. Timber products not only require far less energy to produce than alternatives such as steel and aluminium, but also act as a long-term storage for carbon.

Forests provide a lot of flora which contains or provides medicines to almost all human ailments. for eg the cure for malaria came from cinchona bark from south american forests.
forests lower the temperature by not allowing the suns rays to reach the ground.
a lot fruits come from forests. alot of animals which provide us with milk meat and animals to experiment on when trying new medicines come from forests
forests are a part of the ecological balance of the earth and deforestation is causing global warming leading to drastic changesin temperatures and climatic cycles

forests helps to maintain a proper oxygen and carbon dioxide level, since they utilize CO2 present in the air for photosynthesis they thus reduce global warming and green house effect, maintains the temperature by transpiration and also helps in rainfall. they also prevent soil erosion by binding soil particles by their roots, during rainfall the rain drops fall on their canopy and ultimately falls on the humus below, thus helps in ground water recharging, or else the water will flow taking the fertile soil along with it, thus forests also prevent floods, the dead remains of their foliage after decomposition adds to the organic matter,
