• The felling of trees in a green lung area in Bhubaneswar for a water project can have severe environmental implications.
• Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air. With fewer trees, there will be a decrease in the amount of oxygen in the area and an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide.
• The removal of trees will also have an impact on the local water cycle. Trees absorb water from the soil and release it into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration. With fewer trees, there will be less water in the air and the local climate may become drier.
• The loss of trees will also have an impact on local wildlife, as many species rely on trees for shelter and food. The felling of trees could lead to a decline in biodiversity in the area.
• The loss of a green lung area in Bhubaneswar could also have a detrimental effect on the mental health and wellbeing of local residents who rely on these spaces for recreation and relaxation.
