Sample Answer: 

Respected Principal, vice Principal, supervisor, teachers and all my dear friends!

Today, I welcome one and all on the occasion of the world Environment day. On this auspicious occasion I am going to share my views on the topic," Tree Conservation".

     Respected Dignitaries on and off the Dias, as we all know Trees are the best friends of human beings from ages and saviours of Mankind. Trees provide us Food, shelter, oxygen, fruits, Wood, medicinal herbs unconditionally. We have been worshipping trees from generations as they give us everything without expecting anything.

     It is rightly written by someone,

"Poems are made by a Fool like me but God can only make a Tree" how true is this! Trees maintain the ecological balance of the Environment. Trees prevent soil erosion. Trees Invite rainfall. Trees attract people travellers, birds, animals. Forests and jungles help to reduce pollution.

      "      Woods are lovely 

               Dark and deep but 

               I have many promises

               To keep before I sleep,

               before I sleep,

               before I sleep!

Unfortunately, in some parts of the world human beings start deforestation at a large scale for making a living. Loss of flora and fauna, species, extinction of rarest of rare birds, animals affect the biodiversity. It results in degradation of the environment. Depletion of Natural Resources cause  damage to Mother Earth. The large scale industrialisation, urbanisation influenced the beauty of Nature.

            If we do not seize it 

            It's curtains on our 

            Living things.        

   

But the Questions arise.....

Do we really feel concerned about it? Are we really serious about this issue?

Remember ,we have a little time so, think, introspect and act.we  only can stop this degradation by realising the value of Nature and Trees. On this pious day, Let's take a pledge to Protect the Environment, Trees, Nature,

Each one plant one and protect one is the need of the time. I am very optimistic that with United and collective efforts we will surely do this.

   Thank you for your patient hearing!
