-
1 average tree will sequester absorb more than 48 pounds (21 kg) of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen in exchange
-
Total climate finance counting towards the commitment continues to fall short.
-
Each tree in your garden will filter the air around it, absorbing pollutants and locking up carbon in its trunk, roots and the soil. It can slow the fall of heavy rain and help drink up water from intense storms. It can scatter the sun’s hot rays, giving shade to cool the air and allowing life to thrive beneath.
-
Climate change is causing more frequent and intense extreme weather events, resulting in widespread adverse impacts and related losses and damages to nature and people
-
Adding a single tree to an open pasture can increase bird biodiversity to as high as 80 percent. Trees produce fruit, nuts, shelter and habitat for insects, attracting birds and other species
-
Planting more trees increases the chance for humans and wildlife to secure food and shelter during increasing times of trial.
-
The ocean has absorbed more than 90 per cent of the excess heat in the climate system, making it more acidic and less productive
-
With global warming of 1.5°C to 2°C , the majority of terrestrial species ranges are projected to shrink dramatically. Changes in ranges can adversely affect species conservation, greatly increase local species turnover and substantially increase the risk of global extinction
-
There are 60,065 different tree species currently known to science.
-
A giant sequoia tree in California is the world’s largest tree (by volume)! Its name is General Sherman, and it stands 275 feet tall with 52,000 cubic feet of wood
-
The leaves, twigs and branches on trees are like nature’s soundproofing. They all help absorb and deflect sound waves to mask unwanted noise.
