How many trees are there for per person in India? We are in danger zone


   Trees for per person:
The researchers say, that there are 422 trees for every person on Earth.

What about our India?

There are only 35 billion trees in India to shade a population of 1.3 billion.
Among highly populous countries, India (population, 1.267 billion) has a tree population of only 35 billion, leading to just 28 trees per person.
Compared to Brazil which has 301 billion trees (1,494 per person), Canada 318 billion (8,953 per person), and China 139 billion (102 trees per person). The U.S. has 319 million people in 2014, but 228 billion trees. That’s 716 trees per person.
The nation with the single largest number of trees was Russia, with 641 billion, and 4,461 trees per person based on 2014 population estimates — statistics underscoring the the vastness of Siberia’s boreal forests.

There are two scenarios: don't stop burning fossil fuels and leave CO2 levels alone,
 or 
stop burning fossil fuels and return to pre-Industrial Revolution levels.

Within a few years we are going to face a lot of great dangers
