Greenpeace say 80% in the Amazon rainforest.
A rain forest is simply a forest that has lots and lots of rain each year (+70in a year) The Amazon rain forest in particular is very large it covers a good portion of South America (1.4 billion acres). It calls 9 different countries home and is home to thousands of types of trees and animals. The climate is warm (about 79* F) and humid.
5.400 acres an hour and 129,600 acres a day. That is way too much! People think we have such a big rainforest so it doesn't matter but we don't. If that doesn't help then think of how many animals are losing there homes every day. Hundreds of animals are. That does not mean they can just move into more areas of the rainforest. People are killing animals every day!
this stinks
It is estimated that approximately 80,000 acres of rainforest are being cut down each day, globally. This rapid deforestation is resulting in the loss of critical biodiversity, ecosystems, and contributing to climate change. Efforts are being made to combat this through conservation initiatives, sustainable land use practices, and policy interventions.
30 acres of tropical rainforest is lost every minute!!!
Kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra) - found in the Amazon Rainforest. Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) - found in the Amazon Rainforest. Mahogany tree (Swietenia) - found in the Amazon Rainforest. Strangler fig tree (Ficus) - found in tropical rainforests worldwide, including the Amazon Rainforest. Bo tree (Ficus religiosa) - found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia.
Piranhas and crocodiles
No, there is no known "Lakashi" tribe in the Amazon. The Amazon rainforest is home to numerous indigenous tribes, each with their own unique language, culture, and way of life.
Up to four trees are being cut down each second.
Around 10,000 square miles of the Amazon rainforest are lost each year due to deforestation, primarily for agriculture, logging, and infrastructure development. This loss of forest cover has significant impacts on biodiversity, climate change, and indigenous communities that depend on the rainforest for their livelihoods.
The Amazon Rainforest has lost approximately 17% of its forest cover over the past 50 years due to deforestation, primarily for agriculture, logging, and mining activities. Each year, an estimated 7,500 square kilometers of the Amazon Rainforest are lost, leading to serious environmental consequences.
