September 21st celebrates Arbor Day in Brazil. This date aims to make the population aware of the importance of this great and beautiful natural wealth to be preserved.

Like all plants, trees play an essential role in oxygen production. Through photosynthesis they are able to transform light energy into chemical energy and fix carbon in organic compounds releasing our oxygen.

In addition to photosynthesis, trees play many other ecological roles: many species prevent erosion, improve relative humidity, provide housing for various species of animals and can be a food source for a large number of living organisms, including humans.

Trees also help to lower the temperature of the environment and provide their refreshing shade in hot or relaxing times. Without the tree plants, we would have warmer days, with decreasing humidity.

It is critical that the trees be preserved. Protecting the environment is the role of the whole society and it is essential that each one does their part so that the next generations can live on a green planet as you still see today!
