FOREST
A forest is an area that is full
of trees. We can find it in the
islands of Indonesia. They spread
along the islands of Sumatra,
Java, Kalimantan, Irian and other
islands in Indonesia. They are
very important for our lives.
3
Forests give us many kinds
of export commodities such as
timber, rattans, as well as
rubber. Forests also protect us
from danger of floods. In the
rainy season the roots of the
trees in the forest absorb the
rain water and store it under
the ground.
4
In the dry season the water will come
out and it is very useful for us for
reservoir and irrigation. If there are no
forests, the rain water cannot be
stored, there will be erosion of the soil
and we will suffer from terrible floods .
5
Forests also help us to purify the air
of pollution. The trees of the forests
need
carbon dioxide from the air and send
the
oxygen out into the air, which make the
air fresh and pure. The fresh and pure
air
is needed for our health.
