First and foremost, 8 Billion Trees is a social enterprise–not a charity. There are many different reasons for this, but they all revolve around impact.

Other measurements vary, so that one 2010 estimate, based on MPI figures, put native forest at 65,000 km2 (25,000 sq mi) (24%) and total tree cover at 30%, but another that same year said 31.40% of New Zealand was covered by forest.
