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.
