Whether growing lushly in the rainforest, as a solitary giant tree in the savannah or planted by the hundreds in rows in commercial forests - trees are of incredible diversity and vitality.

But last but not least, trees are indispensable for our ecosystem! Piotr Socha, award-winning illustrator, has captured amazing knowledge about the nature of trees in pictures in a tongue-in-cheek way - and has set a colourful monument to the story of people and trees.
