Unbelievably, over 69,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day in the world. That is over 150 acres lost every minute of every day. Experts estimate that at the current rate of destruction, the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years. Experts also estimate that we are losing 130 species of plants, animals and insects every single day as they become extinct from the loss of rainforest land and habitats..'
The site in the Related Links claims 1.5 acres (0.6 hectares) per second.
United Nations Environment Program claims "An area of a rainforest the size of a football field is being destroyed each second."
Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a 6% and we estimate the rainforests could be completely destroyed in less than 40 years, because every minute 150 acres is being destroyed, so every day that adds up to 216,000 acres of rainforest is destroyed , so every week 1,512,000 acres destroyed, so every month 2,286,144,000,000, so every year 54,867,456,000,000.

~3M hectares/yr, 11.6 thousand mi^2/yr, 31.7 mi^2/day, 1.3 mi^2/hr, 0.02 mi^2/min, 613 thousand ft^2/min, 10.2 thousand ft^2/sec
well it obviously is a lot because, back then days there were lots of trees that now have been cut down
one and a half acres are destroyed each second.
At least 5000 m² of forests are cut down every second worldwide. But a lot of that part are repeatedly reforested.
130,000sq Km gets destroyed every year.

the answer is your momma!!!!!
because a temperate forest doesn't have as much life in it or as much rain as a rain forest and it sheds it's leafs in the fall

Every second we are losing the size of a whole football field! We used to have 14% of rainforest now we have 6% because of deforestation!
The total cost to attend Wake Forest University (per year) is aprox. $50,000
Every second whole football field is being cut down all over the world.
