CERTIFICATE
The chapter ‘Ailing Planet: the Green Movement’s Role’ by Nani Palkhiwala is an enlightening treatise
on environmental degradation, the causes behind, and the solutions needed to be implemented to save
our ailing planet. The line from the chapter ‘Forests precede mankind deserts follow’ has been written to
bring people’s attention to the fact how crucial trees are for mankind. This line means before God put
man on earth, he put trees on it to create wholesome and hospitable conditions for him and his
posterities; however, man in his recklessness destroys trees and makes lands barren like deserts; in such
conditions mankind also disappears. To sum up, the line means trees are indispensable for mankind to
survive; in their absence, mankind will dwindle away.
Forests are one of the most important biological systems of the earth. They came into existence much
before mankind. In this sense forests precede mankind. We have inherited large tracts of forests from our
foreSfathers. Forests are the power house of evolution. Several species of life exist in them. The world’s
ancient inheritance of tropical forests is now wearing away at the rate of forty to fifty million acres per
year. In poor countries, local forests are being destroyed to procure fuel wood. It is estimated that a five
fold increase in the rate of forest planting is needed to cope with the expected fuel wood demand in the
year 2000. It is the responsibility of the state to protect and improve the environment essay and to
safeguard the forests and wildlife. However, large areas named as the forest land are now treeless. As the
forests disappear, deserts will follow. We must take timely steps to prevent this.
FOREST PRECEEDS MANKIND
The writer wants to tell us that even before man came on this earth, there were forests and many animals
inhabited the forests. But man is very greedy and wants to cut down trees and hunt animals. As a result
there won't be any forests and the earth will be a desert. The writer's words are prophetic because man
goes on cutting down trees and destroying the nature and soon nature will cease to be there for man.
Deforestation, the clearing or thinning of forests by humans. Deforestation represents one of the largest
issues in global land use. Estimates of deforestation traditionally are based on the area of forest cleared
for human use, including removal of the trees for wood products and for croplands and grazing lands. In
the practice of clear-cutting, all the trees are removed from the land, which completely destroys the
forest. In some cases, however, even partial logging and accidental fires thin out the trees enough to
change the forest structure dramatically.
The author of "The Ailing Planet: the Green Movement's Role" describes the Earth as suffering from
numerous maladies, because of the rampant misuse of her resources. Man in order to ensure his survival
has mercilessly cut own trees. This uncontrolled deforestation has resulted in lush forested land being
turned into barren stretches. Thus, the land which once was lush and green has now become lifeless like
a desert.

THE SURVIVAL NOT JUST OF THE PEOPLE
BUT OF THE PLANET
Earth is the uniquest planet. The first and foremost reason is it is the only known
planet that is home to myriads of life forms. No other planet in the solar system or
anywhere else in the space supports animal or plant life like the earth.Earth is quite
similar to other planets the way it has evolved out of the nothingness over eons; but
what makes it different from them is the complex life forms and its hospitable
atmosphere and environment. Everything on earth supports life. Land, air, water,
flora, fauna, minerals, etc. all support life.However, man's recklessness, greed and
indifference to the needs of the planet, have literally made its condition exactly like
a patient needing immediate treatment. The illness of pollution has reached its final
stage. If the intensive care treatment is not given to it, it may collapse.
THE SURVIVAL NOT JUST OF THE PEOPLE
BUT OF THE PLANET
The canker of industrialization has converted every town and city into hell. The sylvan beauty, which
was so ubiquitous, has been replaced by factories and mills. The skyline that once was dominated by tall
pines is an ugly sight of stacks spewing toxic fumes! The problems of Global warming, melting glaciers,
decreasing forest covers, dwindling species of plants and animals, depleting ozone layer, etc. loom large
on the future of mankind.The clear rills and brooks that were picnic spots have been converted into
drainage channels, carrying effluents to the river, which has become a bigger channel carrying the muck
to the sea! The entire world is losing its beauty and purity. The mankind a silent witness to this ugly
transformation is waiting for some angel to come down and do the cleaning, preserving, and pollution
managing!How can we prevent this deterioration and degradation of our planet? The task of conserving
and preserving it is quite Herculean. The only solution to the critical environmental issues is people's
mass participation in saving the environment. Mass forestation drive, and stopping the use of fossil fuels
altogether can solve this problem.

environmental issues is people's mass participation in saving the environment.
Mass forestation drive, and stopping the use of fossil fuels altogether can solve this
problem.There are other alternative fuels available. The government must act
strictly. There should be a ban on fossil fuels. The government must create forest
belt near every city or town. Toxic emissions of industries must be strictly
regularized. Installation of toxic smoke and effluents treatment plants must be
mandatory at every industrial unit. With these measures strictly and immediately
implemented the environmental health will improve considerably.We must save
earth for our own survival.
Do you think we will be able to live even for a second if the earth dies?
