At a time when trees are more valuable than ever for their ability to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide contributing to a dangerously warming planet, the forests are dwindling.
The findings from the World Resources Institute show:
-The tropics lost 27.5 million acres of tree cover
-Brazil, where the Amazon rainforest is facing deforestation, led all tropical nations by a wide margin, with 3.8 million acres lost.

@SFUrbanForester Trees don't just belong in rich neighborhoods or parks. They're vital in every neighborhood. SF is one of the least-treed cities in America, a stat that shocked me when I learned it but is true.
