When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Why did the tree need to take a nap? For rest! 😀Today is International Day of Forests and WWF-Australia couldn’t leaf this opportunity behind without reminding us about all the amazing benefits trees provide us:Trees are the lungs of our planet and are champions when it comes to multi-tasking.
