Worldwide ecological stats to keep our planet healthy
Even if it can be anxious, escaping the reality is not an answer, face it and find solution together!
(Since 2024):
[+] Details about those statistics
You wanna calculate it be yourself? Why not?
Trees Cut Down:
- Find the total number of trees cut down annually (e.g., 15 billion trees).
- Divide this number by the total number of seconds in a year.
- Multiply the result by the number of seconds elapsed since the start of the year.
CO2 Emissions:
- Obtain the total annual CO2 emissions in tonnes (e.g., 36.44 billion tonnes).
- Divide this number by the total number of seconds in a year.
- Multiply the result by the number of seconds that have passed since the year began.
Number of Trees Cut Down Annually:
Global deforestation rates are monitored by organizations like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Their Global Forest Resources Assessment reports that approximately 10 million hectares of forest, or about 15 billion trees, are cut down each year.
These figures help raise awareness about the rapid loss of trees and the need for urgent conservation efforts. They highlight the importance of understanding and addressing the causes of deforestation.
To calculate the rate of deforestation yourself, divide the annual number of trees cut down by the total seconds in a year to find the rate per second. Then, multiply this rate by the seconds elapsed since the year began to see how many trees have been lost so far. This approach visualizes the continuous impact of deforestation in real-time.
CO2 Emissions Worldwide:
Data on CO2 emissions are compiled by various environmental and energy agencies, including the International Energy Agency (IEA), which reports that global CO2 emissions reach approximately 36.44 billion tonnes annually.
To visualize real-time emissions, you can calculate the rate of CO2 release. Start by dividing the annual emissions total by the number of seconds in a year to find the emissions rate per second.
Then, multiply this rate by the number of seconds that have passed in the current year. This method provides a dynamic view of how quickly CO2 is being emitted globally.
