Thumbprint tree

The world has about 3 trillion trees and more than 60,000 different species.

However, trees are very specific to their environments. More than half of the tree species in the world only grow in a certain country.

Trees are positives for the environment for so many reasons, from absorbing excess carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen to providing habitat and food sources for wildlife.
