On the occasion of the Day of Birds and Trees, marked annually on May 10, the Ministry of the Environment brings to the attention of the public the importance that these two elements have on the environment.
Birds are not only an essential element of biodiversity, but also an indicator of the health of ecosystems. They contribute to the pollination of flowers and the dispersal of seeds, but also to the control of insect and rodent populations, he notes Noi.md.
Also, trees are essential for the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, for the production of oxygen and for the improvement of air quality. They provide shelter and food for many species of birds and other animals, helping to maintain diversity and preserve the environment.
“Besides the benefits they bring to the environment, trees are also essential for us, humans, offering us shade, food and building materials.
On this day we encourage you to take action to protect and preserve these essential elements of nature. Plant a tree, place bird feeders and shelters,” states the Ministry of the Environment.
