- Christians have also been commanded by God to take care of the God-given environment including forests.
- It is therefore, a Christian duty to preserve and conserve forests.
- Christians should follow government policy of planting trees.
- They should also participate in the annual tree planting day which is held in the month of May of every year.
- They should also educate members of their community on the importance of preserving and conserving forests.
