How much does it rain in the amazon?

Amazonia receives about 9 feet of rain every year. Fifty percent of this returns to the atmosphere through the foliage of trees. Most of the Amazon River's water comes from the annual snowmelt high in the Peruvian Andes. Between June and October, the water level rises by 30 to 45 feet. Tens of millions of acres of rainforest are covered by water as the flood advances, reaching as far inland from the main channel as 12 miles.

Well nobody can ever know for absolute certainty, but if we get scientific about it, then yes.

What percentage of the worlds forests have been destroyed?

It is literally impossible to know what percentage of the worlds trees have been destroyed. Why? Because scientist have yet to formulate an equation that would accurately approximate the actual number of trees still remaining on the planet Earth. Surprise? Not really. Scientific theories, supported by complex mathematics range from anywhere between 400 billion (the absolute low) to 10 trillion (the absolute high) trees currently remain on Earth's surface. Can you imagine the man power it would take to harvest 33% of either of these two figures? Not to mention that the entire human population would be swept away in an enormous fresh water flood and any remaining survivors would eventually die from starvation, soil degradation/poisoning and/or extreme atmospheric deterioration.

What are Idaho's resources?

Wonderful volcanic soil which enables Idaho potatoes to grow so well.

Grand mountains provide hunting, hiking, skiing, mountain biking.

Some wonderful rivers and streams provide fishing, boating, white-water rafting, and nature hikes.

Lakes, some very large like the 25-mile-long Coeur d'Alene (cur duh lane) and the bigger Pend Oreille (pon doray) offer fishing, boating, water skiing, commercial fishing, diving and floats of logs to the sawmills.

Northern Idaho, especially offers opportunities for finding precious and semi-precious jewels and valuable metals.

You can dig for star garnets - the only one of 2 places these are found. You can pan for gold, or dredge for it. There are commercial mines like the Lucky Friday that engage in deep mining of silver, zinc, some gold, and some copper. I have an acquaintance who pays his yearly property taxes from his little placer gold mining setup. Also present are opal, beryl, and other semi-precious gems.

Northern Idaho offers big-game hunting for cougar, grizzly bears, black bears, wolf, elk, and moose, along with excellent bird hunting for Ringneck pheasant, Hungarian pheasant, grouse, ducks, and quail.
