Welcome to TreeWorld: Explore the Science and Beauty of Trees
Discover the wonders of our planet's 60,000+ tree species that collectively store 289 gigatonnes of carbon. From towering sequoias to ancient baobabs, trees are the silent guardians of our ecosystem, providing life, shelter, and balance to our world.
Trees produce over a quarter of Earth's oxygen supply

Trees are essential climate regulators, creating microhabitats that support countless species while filtering pollutants from our air and water. Their extensive root systems prevent soil erosion and improve water quality, making them nature's most efficient environmental engineers.
Popular Tree Species & Care Tips
Oak Trees
Long-lived giants that support over 500 species. Water deeply but infrequently; prune in winter.
Maple Trees
Known for spectacular fall colors. Protect from scorching sun; mulch to retain moisture.
Sequoias
World's largest trees by volume. Need ample space and consistent moisture; avoid root disturbance.
Baobab Trees
African icons that store water in their trunks. Drought-tolerant; protect from frost when young.
Proper urban tree care can extend lifespans by up to 20 years. Always water deeply at the drip line, maintain a 3-inch mulch ring (keeping mulch away from the trunk), and prune only during dormant seasons using clean, sharp tools.
Global Impact: Conserving Forests for the Future
The Challenge
We're losing 10 million hectares of forest annually—equivalent to 30 football fields every minute (FAO 2023)
The Response
Global reforestation has restored 30 million hectares since 2000 through coordinated international efforts
Your Impact
Individual actions from tree planting to sustainable purchasing collectively drive meaningful change
By supporting certified sustainable wood products, reducing paper consumption, and participating in local tree planting initiatives, you become part of the global movement to protect our forests. Every tree planted helps restore biodiversity and combat climate change.
