[05:53.99]In their eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees [05:59.24]they have cut them down in large numbers, [06:03.18]only to find that without them they have lost the best friends they had. [06:09.43]Two thousand years ago,a rich and powerful country [06:16.01]cut down its trees to build warships, [06:19.98]with which to gain itself an empire. [06:23.77]It gained the empire but without its trees, [06:29.10]its soil became hard and poor.When the empire fell to pieces, [06:36.02]the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation. [06:41.92]Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply [06:51.09]of trees,it is difficult for it to persuade the villagers to see this [06:57.75]The villagers want wood to cook their food with; [07:03.63]they can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsmen. [07:10.61]They are usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees [07:18.47]So,unless the government has a good system of control, [07:24.92]or can educate the people the forests will slowly disappear. [07:31.09]This does not only mean that the villagers' sons and grandsonshave fewer trees. [07:40.13]The results are even more serious: [07:44.41]for where there are trees their roots break the soil up [07:48.95]allowing the rain tosink in — and also bind the soil, [07:54.80]thus preventing its being washed away easily. [07:58.77]But,where there are no trees,the rain falls on hard groundand [08:05.61]and flows away from the surface,causing floods [08:10.05]and carrying away with it the rich top-soil, [08:13.92]in which crops grow so well.When all the top-soil is gone [08:20.48]nothing remains but a worthless desert.
