It's a significant amount of trees - smaller than I thought, but perhaps the largest megascale project ever attempted. ~230B trees which is ~7.6% of the global tree stock.

A far cry from 230 billion, but enough that it wouldn't seem like an impossible project for a few world governments to collaborate on.
