Taking down a tree is more serious than you think, because on average a person needs about 22 trees to breathe. One hectare of planted trees barely supplies oxygen to 18 people a day.
Saying that we are more than 7 billion people in the world, how many do you think are necessary?
To be more precise, the sycamore (Ficus sycomorus) has a height of approximately 12 meters in height, which produces little more than 100 kg of oxygen per year. A human breathes about 9.5 tons of air at the same time.
Therefore, a person would need seven to eight sycamore trees to breathe fresh quality air.
Although they are not the only terrestrial species that provides us the vital element, they represent a fundamental part for the survival of the human being on the planet.
Trees are the largest organisms and the longest life in the earth's crust, is one of the most important reasons to care for the environment, and at the same time protect our survival and that of our descendants.
