1.4 billion acres of dense Amazon forest is the world’s natural major carbon sink has 390 billion individual trees of 16000 species Half of the trees belong to only 227 species.
6,000 tree species out of 16000 in Amazon have a population of less than 1,000 individuals, which makes them eligible for the IUCN red list.
"Just like physicists’ models tell them that dark matter accounts for much of the universe, our models tell us that species too rare to find account for much of the planet’s biodiversity. That’s a real problem for conservation, because the species at the greatest risk of extinction may disappear before we ever find them," says Mike Silman, an ecologist and co-author of the paper.
