we need to bring awareness to public about importance of forests.
government of each country should provide alternative to wood cutting
for fuel, decor etc. people not having any source for fuel, they will cut the trees. let us join together and bring the awareness

The Vedas are nature centric and man along with all other life forms is part of the natural processes. There are many hymns dedicated to Mother Earth in the Rig and Atharvana Vedas. The various forms of nature are represented symbolically as personifications of Sakthi or feminine energy. This Sakthi is also the synergy that is responsible for the interconnectedness of sentient as well insentient beings of nature. A few hymns from the Bhumi Suktha in the Atharvana Veda :
Your regions, earth, to Eastward and to Westward.

Southward and Westward, may they receive me kindly.

On whom the men of olden days roamed.

On whom the conquering Gods smote the demons,

the home of cattle, horses and of birds,

Her upon whom the trees, lord of forest,

stand firm ��� unshakable, in every place,

this long-enduring Earth . . .

O Purifying Earth, I you invoke,

O Patient Earth, by sacred word enhanced,

bearer of nourishment and strength, of food and ghee

O Earth, we would approach you with due praise !

The Earth is Mother, I am son of Earth.

She carries in her lap the foolish and also the wise

She bears the death of the wicked and the wise.

Your circling seasons, nights succeeding days

Your summer, O Earth, your splashing rains,

Yours winter and frosty season yielding too spring-

may each and all produce for us milk !

Whatever, I dig of you, O Earth,

May that grow quickly upon you,

O Pure One, may my thrust never pierce thy

Vital points, thy heart.

Truth, unyielding cosmic order, consecration,

Ardour and Prayer and Holy Ritual

Uphold the Earth, May she the ruling Mistress

of what has been and what will come to be,

for us spread wide a limitless domain.....

[Atharva Veda, 12.1.1]

This nature loving and conserving glorious tradition should be given its due credit and dignity and applied to correct the ills of desecration caused by man to Mother Earth.
