Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Earth's trees
number 'three trillion'
It’s eight times
more than the previous estimate. The latest estimate of the number of trees on
our planet is around three trillion. Where are they? Approximately a little
under half of the trees are in tropical or sub-tropical regions like famous
Amazon rainforest.
How big is three
trillion? Since there are a little over seven billion people living in the
world, the number of trees per person is about 420. You may think there are a
lot of trees but not quite. As deforestation continues, about 10 billion trees are
being lost every year. Humans control the environment of today and the future.
Enjoy reading and
learning about the population of trees.
