How many trees have I measured?

While I was procrastinating I decided to look up how many trees I have measured during my time doing ecology. Specifically I wanted to know how many trees I had hugged while measuring their trunk diameter with a DBH tape. So I sifted through my old spreadsheets and added up the numbers, it wasn't that difficult, really.

So below is a table of all the trees I've measured, separated by country:

┌──────────────────────────┬────────────────┐
│         Country          │ Trees measured │
╞══════════════════════════╪════════════════╡
│ Angola (2018)            │           2252 │
├──────────────────────────┼────────────────┤
│ Republic of Congo (2017) │           2161 │
├──────────────────────────┼────────────────┤
│ Brazil (2016)            │            189 │
├──────────────────────────┼────────────────┤
│ Peru (2015)              │           1093 │
├──────────────────────────┼────────────────┤
│ Total                    │           5695 │
└──────────────────────────┴────────────────┘

I think 5695 trees is quite a lot! I'll have to take a picture with the 6000th tree.
