FERTILE SOIL

The leaves from trees are used as compost, which makes the soil moist and fertile.

ANIMAL FEED

Trees provide fodder for animals.

PROTECTION AGAINST SOIL EROSION

Trees stabilise the ground and reduce soil erosion.

FIREWOOD & BUILDINGS

Trees provide firewood, timber and potential income.

FOOD AND MEDICINE

Trees provide food, fruit and medicines.

SHADE

Trees provide shade for other plants, livestock and human beings.

NITROGEN FIXING

Trees can fix nitrogen in the soil, providing more favourable conditions for crops.
