How much forest is lost every second?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Approximately 40 football fields worth of forest are lost every minute, which translates to about 55,000 square kilometers of forest lost each year. This rapid rate of deforestation is primarily caused by human activities such as logging, agriculture, and infrastructure development. Conservation efforts and sustainable forest management practices are crucial to mitigate these losses.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 5

well it obviously is a lot because, back then days there were lots of trees that now have been cut down

Answer 6

one and a half acres are destroyed each second.

Answer 7

At least 5000 m² of forests are cut down every second worldwide. But a lot of that part are repeatedly reforested.
