Greenpeace say 80% in the Amazon rainforest.
Unbelievably, more than 200000 acres of rainforest are burned every day. It's so sad :(
A rain forest is simply a forest that has lots and lots of rain each year (+70in a year) The Amazon rain forest in particular is very large it covers a good portion of South America (1.4 billion acres). It calls 9 different countries home and is home to thousands of types of trees and animals. The climate is warm (about 79* F) and humid.
this stinks
30 acres of tropical rainforest is lost every minute!!!
5.400 acres an hour and 129,600 acres a day. That is way too much! People think we have such a big rainforest so it doesn't matter but we don't. If that doesn't help then think of how many animals are losing there homes every day. Hundreds of animals are. That does not mean they can just move into more areas of the rainforest. People are killing animals every day!
Piranhas and crocodiles
The rubber tree is from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, so is the Brazil nut tree.
Up to four trees are being cut down each second.
Well rain forest can be destroyed if a fire started. Of course. Yes, acres of rain forest are being destroyed each year in the Amazon. The forests are clear felled and the land used for farming.
