In India where on an average the deforestation is the prime factor and the large grown trees are cut for consumption and also for the economic progress hinders a lot to the environment. The country which has seen much of the deforestation in the past decades and rapid urbanization has literally bought down many of the trees have imposed a lot more crisis to the already dwindling oxygen cover.
The big or fully grown trees which are an essential part of the ecosystem does not give any advantage if it is cut and thrown without giving any due advantage If we see a tree across the newly built, roads and various other establishments sometimes a total number of trees which are cut is into thousands. The trees which stand taller and are a rich source of oxygen are cut by the tree cutting mafia which greases the hand of the official and thus brings out the disadvantage to the country in terms of deforestation.
If we understand the economic perspective of deforestation then it costs in crores and industry reports state that the deforestation has cost into crores as a newspaper report has published it a few years back: https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi-news/deforestation-cost-govt-rs-2000-cr/story-k5bt3PGqwLU8aTFpacccHK.html
The only way of avoiding deforestation is through the process of moving a tree rather than cutting it and since India has a large tract of land which is always present near the city, village or town it certainly makes an easy way to move a tree and plant it to a different place rather than cutting it.
If we understand the fact that an average tree takes 20 years to grow fully and then the advantage in terms of providing a pure form of oxygen is enormous then the moving of a fully grown tree and the cost involved is nothing as compared to just chopping of the tree.
So, the government along with the local environment body should keep in mind the good factors in the life of helping a tree to get a new environment and bring the best out of moving the tree and thus increase the plantation cover offering new lungs cover to the social environment of the people rather than depriving them of the basic needs of oxygen which is already dwindling in the cities due to thick mushrooming of the concrete jungles.
