Currently, only less than 6% of the Earth's surface is rainforest.

There is the Amazonian one in Central and South America, One in Africa, One in India, and one in Australia.

Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
