A new interactive map produced by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows how much of the earth is covered in living plants. The researchers were able to gather a years worth of satellite images and compile them into a single high-resolution image that shows which parts of the planet are the lushest and which ones are covered by the sparsest vegetation.
