Deforestation remains a significant issue for our planet. However, this excellent video from the WSJ provides a ray of sunshine. The world has more trees than is commonly thought.
The latest estimate from the sophisticated research mentioned in the video is around 3 trillion trees.
Some great stats quoted too in the video in relation to the rate of global deforestation - not such good news.
