KEEP UP
A new report has come out today that there are many more trees earth than expected before. According to a group of Yale researchers they believe that Earth has approximately 3.04 trillion trees, 8 times as many as were previously believed. Using the help of super computers these environmental scientist were able to calculate roughly the number of trees on Earth. Although this number may seem astonishing it is actually a concern to scientists. Since the dawn of human civilization, the team was able to calculate that 46% of trees have been diminished. Also every single year 15 billion trees are cut down. Although trees are one of the biggest groups of organisms on earth they are being dwindled down at an astonishing rate.
