In Pakistan, an ambitious effort to plant 10 billion trees takes root

[xyxmt]

There are a total of 3 trillion trees in the entire planet... what are they talking about?

I think British Columbia might have more than 3 trillion trees alone

no one came to count trees in my backyard, i have about 30 trees here

Every street should have trees must be government policy

...We went from planting 1 Billion to now trying to plant 10 Billion.
InshaAllah when we achieve this then we can go for 50 Billion and so on.

Germany stopped deforestation centuries ago with a law that every new-married couple had to plant twenty trees.

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

This is very good initiative to plant billions of tree. We also need to stop people cutting trees. We need to deal them with iron hands

 

[PakSword]

If we grow 1 tree every 5 meters apart, 1 sq. km will contain 200x200 = 40,000 trees.

Pakistan's total area is 796,095 sq. kms. Its means planting a tree every 5 meters apart will result in 31,843,800,000 (around 32 billion trees).

By this measure, it is a very ambitious plan. meaning government is planning to convert one third of Pakistani land into a relatively thick forest having a tree every 5 meters?

Is it really achievable? If they achieve it (which I believe they can't), Pakistan's forest cover will increase fron 3 percent to 35 % in five years.. unbelievable..

They need special drone or some kind of robot to Plant the trees super fast.
