Friends, Today I have the most amazing tree for you. This plant has a massive trunk and looks like a bottle. I think you have to guess the plant name. Yeah! friends I am talking about Adensonia , which is also known as “Baobab” or “Bottle tree”.

The Crooked Forest of Gryfino in Poland is also a natural marvel, featuring bizarre, curved tree trunks

2. Cork Bark Forest

The odd and distinctive cork bark forest of the Mediterranean is a case where industry actually preserves this unique biome. In fact, the advent of the screw-top wine stopper is the cork bark forest’s greatest threat. As vintners switch from cork plugs to alternative wine stoppers, millions of hectares of cork forest will be cut and replanted with other more viable crops; the loss of jobs to the cork bark industry would be another side effect. Experts say we will lose cork forests in the next decade if the wine industry continues to turn to alternative corks. Cork oaks are really fascinating; they can be “shorn”, much like sheep, for many years with proper maintenance. Without market incentive, though, these forests may fall into disrepair or be cleared all together.

The Areca palm tree,scientific name chrysalidocarpus lutescens ,is one of the most popular palms in tropical and subtropical climates because of its beautiful appearance and low maintenance.

Assuming it lives at least 50 years, a tree exhales
6,000 pounds of oxygen in its life, or about 120
pounds per year.

Interesting facts about forests: 1. Forests cover almost one third of total land area on planet
Earth. 2. Forests are the ‘lungs of the earth’. They supply us with fresh oxygen and remove CO2
from the atmosphere. 3. More than 75% of the world’s usable freshwater comes from forested areas. 4. Rather shockingly, 36 million acres of natural forest are lost
each year. Which is more than the size of England! 5. More than 300 million people around the world live in forests. 6. More than 1.5 billion people depend on forests to earn a
living. 7. The total global trade in forest products was valued at around $
379 billion in 2005. *Source of facts UNEP Forests are important for our future because they help us get
clean air and clean water. But at
the current rate can you figure
out by when all the forests of
the world will disappear? It is
sooner than you think. So what can we do? Here are some simple but important
steps: 1. Lessen the use of forest
products, like wood and paper. 2. Support organizations that are trying to save our forests (LINKS) . 3. Protect local forests near your area and if possible plant a few
trees. 4. Raise awareness among people by sharing this
information. If you have other suggestions,
