"Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper that we may record our emptiness. -Kahlil Gibran"

This photo was taken last Sunday at Kowloon Walled Park

You are the longest species in this world. You give us a link between past, present and future.

You give us food when we are hungry. Savoring the taste of the fruits freshly picked from your branches.

You give us shelter, sacrificing your own body so we can live comfortably.

Your spreading canopy and crown give us shed from sunlight in the heat of the summer.

You act as a physical filter, trapping dust and absorbing pollutants from the air.

Life could not exist on Earth without you.

You provide us oxygen, improves air quality, climate amelioration, conserve water, and preserve soil.

Without you, wildlife would be miserable.

There would be no rain, no food, no shelter, no life.

You give us your own life, but what did human give to you?

Human just cut you down. DEFORESTATION.

Half of the world's forest are now gone. What would happen to the Earth now?

Filthy air.

Lifeless soil.

Chronic drought.

No tree-based products

And Water wars.

No one would be left to experience the disastrous consequences of deforestation.

This photo was taken last Sunday at Kowloon Walled Park. Walking there will make you realize how important the trees to human and to the Earth.

Stop Deforestation!!

Restore the forest.

Plant trees.

Who are us human beings if we ignore the sufferings of the world?

We think too much and feel too little, more than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness.

And it's only humanity which can save the trees.

It's only humanity which can save the Earth.

Or else, Earth would be lifeless without trees.

This would be my second entry to @Dolores photo essay contest. Here is the link of the contest.

Thank you so much. .. actually I got this idea of making this article after roaming around kowloon park last sunday.. seeing that pretty place full of trees, flowers.. so green and peaceful... i asked myself , what will happen to the earth without trees..? So this serves as an awareness as well to all readers to care for the trees and to all living creatures in this world..

Thank you so much, it's also an eye-opener to everyone to stop cutting down trees.. hope this will serves as awareness, we should protect our planet through valuing every living creature of this world, esp trees.. coz if not, it's still us who will suffer. We cannot live without trees as they're the ones who gives us oxygen and filter the air.

The pandemic is somewhat a blessing in disguise, because of the lockdown in different area of the world, there has less pollution, less cars on the streets.. but hoping that after this crisis, people will learn something..

Right @Jane .. Yeah there are alot of importance of trees on earth as you have mentioned in your article but the problem is that the world is progressing day by day and most of the villages are transformed into cities, humans have built alot of huge buildings while cutting the trees and making the space available for the bulidings.. Due to deforestration we are facing alot of problems.. like flood etc

As we know that trees are also very essential in our life so we should save them..

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful article.♥️

Exactly.. the world is progressing but our trees are getting fewer. I can't imagine what will happen in the future. There might be few trees left and the world will die

Trees are mostly related to human lives .it shows the almost reflection of success, sadness, and other things related to human life.
