<h2 style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arials, sans-serif; ">About Map-a-Tree</h2><p style="font-family: helvetica, arials, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; "><b>Map-a-Tree</b> is a unique effort in counting the number of trees on this Planet Earth. Though most of the countries follow the United Nations recommendation of taking the country"s census every 10 years, there is no such census for the trees population. Map-a-Tree hopes to do it for Trees. We hope this exercise will try to exactly identify the number of trees on this planet and also help us in identifying some unique trees and their virtues. This fresh tree census will help us plan plantations, conserve rare trees or treat and save unhealthy trees.</p>
<p style="font-family: helvetica, arials, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; ">Trees that work hard for us everyday cleaning our air and water, providing shade and a cooler environment are disappearing at a rapid rate these days. Let us make a sincere attempt to save the green cover on this beautiful planet.</p>
<p style="font-family: helvetica, arials, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; ">All that we ask of you is to try to identify and map where every tree is in this census of trees. We expect this information will help researchers gain a better insight into the tree population of this world and into how changes in the climate will affect the green cover on earth.</p>
<p style="font-family: helvetica, arials, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; ">Map-a-Tree is not constrained by nationalities; it is an honest effort to map the 'green' around us. So if you have spotted or stumbled on any tree in your area or in any other place/country that you have visited/are visiting, then please do map it with the accurate descriptions. If you are a botanist or someone with a little more than superficial knowledge of trees, you are welcome to give some additional & useful info about the tree you are just about to map.</p>
<p style="font-family: helvetica, arials, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; ">We hope the features in this section will inspire you to get involved in this important movement. To make the world the greenest it can be, we need everyone to pitch in.</p>
