There is a new map that shows where there are more trees and where there is more dirty air in cities. The map was made by some groups who care about trees and health. They found that places where poorer people live have fewer trees and more dirty air. The people who made the map want leaders to plant more trees in these places.

The map shows a big difference in air that is clean or dirty depending on how many trees are around. A lady from the Woodland Trust says it's not fair that rich places have more trees. The Trust thinks that people in poor areas are missing out on the good things trees do. They want leaders to think of trees as very important and plant more in cities.

In a city in America called Detroit, a project like the map has helped plant trees in poor places and given people jobs. A man named Tyree got a job planting trees and it has made his life better. Some places in the UK are already thinking about trees and poor areas. But the people who made the map want all places to use their tree map to help decide where to plant more trees.
