In 1977, a decree was passed forcing every capable man, woman, and child over 10 years of age to plant one tree every month for five years. The seedlings as well as certificates for each tree planted are provided by the government, which hopes to reduce the country's deforestation by planting 360 million saplings per year. Wildlife Uses . Many different forms of wildlife depend highly on trees for survival. Every part of a tree can be used as food for wildlife.
Many animals consume the nuts and fruits of trees.
Others chew on bark and twigs. Some insects and burrowing animals will feed on the roots. Even the flower provides food for many species of insects and birds. Most of this feeding is damaging to a tree, but in some cases it is highly beneficial. Animals aid in the dispersal of species by feeding on the fruits and depositing the seeds in other locations.
