Approximately 40 football fields worth of forest are lost every minute globally, which equates to around 1.3 acres per second. This rapid deforestation is primarily driven by activities such as logging, agriculture expansion, and infrastructure development. The loss of forests has significant environmental impacts, including habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, and contribution to climate change.
The Amazon Rainforest has lost approximately 17% of its forest cover over the past 50 years due to deforestation, primarily for agriculture, logging, and mining activities. Each year, an estimated 7,500 square kilometers of the Amazon Rainforest are lost, leading to serious environmental consequences.
A hurricane can contain a massive amount of energy, equivalent to hundreds of atomic bombs exploding every second.
About one-sixth of the land land in Indiana is covered by forests
Approximately 505,000 cubic kilometers of water is lost from Earth annually.
I am doing a school geography project and while researching i found this shocking fact : every day 174873600 square meters of the amazon is destroyed .More information : every second one and a half acers are destroyed.The main causes of destruction are new large roads , illegal logging, cattle ranching (which causes the most destruction) mining , HEP Stations (hydro electric power) and colonisation (where the government gives out land cheaply to the poor who then , in most cases, burn it )
Every second whole football field is being cut down all over the world.
