A protected forest is like a big special house where a lot of plants, animals and trees live. They are very important because they help make our air clean and give us many things like food, wood, and medicine.
But sometimes people do things that could hurt or destroy this special house, like cutting down trees or hunting animals. So, to keep this house safe, governments decide to make rules called laws that protect the special house.
This means that people are not allowed to cut down the trees or hunt animals in the protected forest. Forest rangers or people who are hired to take care of the forest make sure that these rules are followed so that the special house stays safe and healthy for all the plants and animals that live there.
In short, a protected forest is like a special house where no one is allowed to hurt the plants or animals that live there, so that they can stay healthy and happy.
