Gamergirl2020
14% of the world was originally covered in rainforest. Today, only 6% remains. It is true that most of this damage has been done in the last 50 years, and even more damage is projected for the future. 300 acres of remaining rainforest are destroyed per minute. Humankind has had a detrimental affect on the world's ecosystems and this destruction is extremely significant. 50% of all species make their homes in rainforests.
