Forests influence the local and probably global climates. They moderate the diurnal range of air temperatures and maintain atmospheric humidity levels. Forests absorb atmospheric carbon and replenish the oxygen in the air we breathe. The conservation of forest resources in the watersheds that supply water for irrigation, sanitation, and human consumption is an important component of water supply strategies. When tropical watersheds have balanced land use, their forests absorb excessive rainfall that is gradually released later. Forests regulate stream flows by intercepting rainfall, absorbing the water into the underlying soil, and gradually releasing it into the streams and rivers of its watershed. This minimizes both downstream flooding and drought conditions. Tree cover conserves moisture in the soil by providing shade that reduces the evaporative loss from radiant energy exchange with the atmosphere. Tree roots enhance soil porosity, reduce compaction, and facilitate infiltration. Trees act as windbreaks, reducing the force of desiccating, eroding winds at ground level. :) :)

I've a lot of the same views that you do. People certainly do throw off the balance of nature. As far as nature goes, it is not a question of "excellent" and "not excellent". It's just a topic of letting things run their path. Matters evolve, matters die. Such is the best way of the planet. Frequently lots of matters die immediately when mass extinctions happen. The factor is that everything that comes into existence will stop to exist in the future. It can be only a topic of time. People are screwing with matters right now, however nature will finally hammer us backtrack. Don't forget that everything we take out of the ground takes thousands of years to refill, and even supposing we majorly cut back our utilization of fossil fuels, minerals, etc. They're going to all still run out finally. At that factor our civilization will crumble. Without our science to artificially increase the earth's carrying capacity, billions will die off and our populace will slash down to a more balanced quantity. People are too intelligent to ever be outsmarted by means of one more species, and we're very adaptable. Even before we had advanced technologies, people were ready to effectually thrive in virtually every single habitat on this planet, from the plains of Africa, to the jungles of Asia, to the Arctic tundra. So there's particularly no manner we will be able to ever go extinct slowly. It is going to take a enormous event just like the Yellowstone supervolcano to fairly threaten the species, and even then I believe there would be some survivors. People have a whole monopoly on brainpower, however no longer the whole lot is underneath our manage. Our technologies cannot be sustained forever, and ultimately we will be the purpose of our own undoing...Except a meteor hits the planet again some time earlier than then.

forest play a major role in maintaining the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it to carbon and oxygen and stored the carbon it in plant tissue . Forests therefore have an important ecological function in fixing and storing carbon from the atmosphere. Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere appears to be one of the factors leading to observed changes in the global climate.

forest by following method maintain balance:
photosynthesis- consume co2 and evolves oxygen which necessary for respiration.
Avoid soil erosion
avoid flood and drought
provide shelter to birds and other animals and maintain balance in eco sysytem
also give fruit and vegetables.
