Deforestation is happening all around the world. Approximately 15 billion trees are cut down every single year. Despite some forest getting replanted, if we keep going at this rate, we'll have no trees in about 200 years. But what if that were to happen right... now. What would happen to our air quality? What would happen to animals? And do trees hold the key to our food supply?
