                         The forest refers to the area full 
                        of trees, which provides human beings with food, fuel, 
                        timber, medicine in the early times. The human civilization 
                        has close relationship with the forests which gives the 
                        materials of tools, houses, cities and towns, wheels and 
                        ships. The forests also cultivate the sense of esthetics. 
                        As a kind of regulator, although the shortage of forests 
                        is not fatal, it has bad influence on the living environment 
                        of human beings.  
                          Due to the great consumption of the timber, the area 
                        of forests on the Earth is becoming smaller and smaller, 
                        which causes a lot of environmental problems such as drier 
                        and warmer climate, more sandstorms and air pollutions, 
                        water and soil erosions. Therefore, the value of forests 
                        to environment has become higher. Planting more trees 
                        to increase the forest resources has close relationship 
                        with the economic, social and environmental benefits of 
                        human beings.
