- Control of flood: Forests prevent flooding by minimising erosion on sloping hills and silting-up in lakes, rivers, and other reservoirs.
- Aesthetic, recreational and development of tourism facilities: Any person, especially those who live in cities, can find relief from their repetitive lives in forests.
