GOOD NEWS: more trees than we thought
According to The Guardian, in the world there are more than 73.000 species of trees, and 9000 of them we don't even know! This is extremely important because we don't need trees just for oxygen, but also for the biodiversity that forests host.
The majority of these trees are located in the Amazon, and it took billion of years for them to develop in that area. This means that we have to be extremely careful not to let them disappear, given that we have already lost so many species of tree we didn't even know of.
