  1. Planting trees can solve only tiny fraction of damage we do to the planet 😭 So other actions are required too. Plus natural re-growth of forest is preferable to artificially planted one or few species of trees

  2. Planting trees is good for everything, but it won't stop climate change. Calculate: to do that, you would need to plant all land area in the world in trees... in several layers of trees! Saying it so people don't have an illusion that planting trees alone can solve that particular problem. It will solve some other problems though. Although the best is to let the natural forest re-grow. Planted forest usually has small biodiversity of plants, but the re-growth from remaining natural forest has much higher biodiversity. So it should be preferable strategy
