The Majestic World of Trees: Earth's Gentle Giants
Trees are crucial for our planet's health. A single mature tree
absorbs approximately 48 pounds of carbon dioxide annually,
making them powerful carbon sequestrators.
Forests are also biodiversity hubs, providing shelter and
sustenance for over 80% of all terrestrial species. In urban areas,
trees play a vital role in cooling cities, reducing temperatures by 2-
8°C, and improving air quality.
Beyond their environmental benefits, the global timber market alone exceeds $500 billion annually, highlighting their significant economic
value.
