Studies show that planting trees can improve mortality rates in neighbourhoods. According to a study carried out in US cities, the mortality rate was monitored along with the green covers in the neighbours using satellite images. Trees save lives as they filter harmful pollutants out of the air, dampen stress-inducing noise pollution, encourage outdoor physical activity, boost social interaction and cohesion, improve mental health, and decrease violent crime.
