The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) found that

Between 1990 and 2005 Brazil lost 2,974,867 hectares (7,351,000 acres) of Amazon Rainforests annually.

That's 8,150 ha per day, 340 ha per hour, 5.6 ha every minute. Or 10.5 football fields every minute. (An American Football field measures 0.53 ha (1.32 acres))
