Trees are a very useful organic material whose existence dates back approximately three hundred and seventy million years ago.Thus, the tropical climate regions all over the world with chilly cold condition areessential.Though the number of trees totals twenty-five percent of all living plant specoccupied the earth and started using fire deliberately (n. pp). techniques that will stop individuals from exploiting them.

According to Williams, exploitation of trees has caused irreversible damage with consequent dire outcomes. This documentation was recent compared with the ancient times. In order to reduce human exploitation of these resources, people should develop alternatives of generating income. Peque explains that instead should be the opportunities for value-adding rather than consummation (32). Both crude and raw use of timber such as making of furniture, firewood and burning of charcoal should be stopped both at the primary supplier to the tertiary level of recipients. Other than using trees as the source of raw materials, other plant yielding stock can be used alternatively. Since the rural location and nature characterize the market for timber and other products, the low-cost products should be substituted for higher products (peque 32). Established various income generating activities as alternative ways, trees will be reserved.

Another issue that tends to explain the destruction of trees is poverty and exploitation. According to the (World Rainforest Movement) the industrialization programs in third world countries aimed at poverty eradication is the main cause of poverty.the world’s resources” (Orams&McQuire). On the converse, individuals from these third world countries expect maximum help, yet they are manipulated.The claim that overpopulation is the cause of deforestation is used by many governments and aid agencies as an excuse for inaction. In tropical countries, pressure from human settlement comes about more from inequitable land distribution that from population pressure. In general, most of the land is owned by. Thus according to Lomman, responsibility for most of the exploitation of the earth is owed to the growing population of rich industrialized countries

Apart from creating poverty strategies in the developing countries, people should be active and plant trees by supporting the eco-friendly organizations spearheading the care of the environment at the cost of fighting back for the evergreen trees. These organizations functioning and working within a stipulated set of laws will help stop the cruel falling of trees for money. Montgomery Forest preservation strategy (2000) provided such regulations that were enacted by the state for the universal protection of trees. With these laws in place then individuals are under the jurisdiction of the law, with consequent knowledge on its breakage.

Finally, with overpopulation there is less food. People clear land to create more agricultural land for the production of food due to the overgrowing demand. Trees are cut down in plenty to create more farming land. Alternatively, large pieces of land created are used for pastoral farming by the communities rearing large herds of cattle. The land is further predisposed to soil erosion, creating environmental degradation. An immediate intervention strategy would involve eliminating hunger by effective strategy and community education over the same, continuous education about the effects of global warming effect and the rearing of a manageable herd of cattle.
