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

 

 

Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation

 

 

One hectare (2.47 acres) may contain over 750 types of trees and 1500 species of higher plants.
