Ethics is a system of values ​​or moral norms that serve as guidelines for a person or group of people to behave and act.

Various irresponsible human actions such as cutting down trees on a large scale and throwing cigarette butts carelessly are the causes of forest fires. The importance of forests for the survival of life is one of the important factors for the need for forest protection.
