Let rivers and roads bloom. Those trees need to be supervised by local authorities and those places must be clean . Need yearly field survey for trees protection and number counting.

Trees can be planted beside the river side not only road side. Trees can make river banks more beautiful and attractive, also can help to prevent soil erosion beside the river.Trees-like kachnar, jacaranda,amal, tabebuia can make river banks more beautiful and attractive for people. so that this kind of river banks can be a good place for tourism and can be a good picnic spot.

I think we need to focus more on social forestry, because oxygen is not only required by living beings — even non-living systems like vehicles indirectly rely on it. A vehicle burns fuel by consuming oxygen,& the quantity of oxygen it uses in just one day is often more than what a human consumes in an entire year. So, if someone doesn’t walk much (except for exercise), they should at least focus on planting more trees for oxygen.particularly,we should emphasize roadside social forestry with trees like Jacaranda, Tabebuia, Amaltas, & Peltophorum. These trees not only produce oxygen but also beautify roads, maintain cooler temperatures, help vehicle tires work more efficiently,& reduce the chances of blowouts and cracking. They cool the atmosphere, reduce pollution, prevent soil erosion,& add ecological balance.Lastly, driving through such beautiful, tree-lined roads improves our mental and emotional health, supports photo opportunities,& helps in promoting biodiversity & sustainability
