Trees naturally absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO₂), reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping slow global warming. A single mature tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of CO₂ per year, making reforestation a key strategy in the fight against climate change.

Tree roots stabilize soil, preventing erosion, flooding, and desertification. Forests also play a crucial role in the water cycle, replenishing groundwater supplies and filtering pollutants before they reach rivers and oceans.

Deforestation threatens the survival of countless species. Planting native trees helps restore lost habitats, providing food, shelter, and breeding grounds for birds, insects, and mammals, ultimately strengthening fragile ecosystems.

Through photosynthesis, trees absorb harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, improving air quality and reducing respiratory illnesses in urban and rural areas.
