How do ”350 millions trees planted each year” actually work?

Question

In sweden theres a commercial where they say they plant 350 million new trees each year, but how does it work? Thats 1 million per day if my maths correct

How many workers are required for this?
What kind of machines are used?
How many % of all these trees dont die during the growth and make it to adulthood?

So many questions

I wish someone would ever take into account that you can’t just stick a tree sapling in the ground and walk away, and expect it to live. “Ethopia planted 350 million trees in one day!” isn’t as impressive when 90% of them die within the year due to to not being managed.

It gives people a false and dangerous sense of accomplishment.
