Q1 · Read Aloud
Forests are home to millions of animals and plants. Every animal in the forest has a habitat where it lives and finds food. It is very important that we protect these natural areas. When we cut down trees, animals lose their homes and many species disappear. We can help by planting more trees and supporting nature parks. A healthy forest helps keep our air clean and our water fresh. Let us all work together to keep our forests safe for future generations.
