Earth’s Tree Population

Based on a mass data of ground survey obtained through satellite pictures, a group from Yale University put forward an assessment of the “Tree population” on Earth, stating we currently have about 300 trillion trees on our beloved planet. This figure is about 8 times higher than the most positive estimations made earlier, bringing the Tree: Human ratio to 420:1.
Being the result of an initial analysis, the findings will further be checked on various baselines before the number can be authenticated. The researcher however highlighted the fact that this new number did not change any thing in the world, as these numbers was raised after considering about 400,000 forest plots, while most of our cities are still barred from these natural resources. Another figure presented forth in the study was of the human impact on trees, stating that about 15 billion trees are cut annually worldwide, losing 1/3 of a percentage out of the total every year. This figure is expected to increase and if proper control measures are not enforced it will not be long before trees becoming a rare sight to be seen only in tropic, subtropic and temperate region forests and the boreal forests, where the densest of forests exist today. 

It's really sad that all of these trees are being chopped to the ground. That huge number might seem like a lot, and 1/3% may not seem like a lot, but in years to come, if we don't start conserving now, thatvnumber will just continue to get smaller and smaller. This not only will kill trees and the atmosphere, but also killing the homes of millions of species of animal who will likely die out without the forest. It's really quite sad. Hopefully though we will find ways to conserve in the future.
