Every second, 1 1/2 acres of the rainforests are lost due to deforestation, cattle grazing, and farming.
The Amazon covers a billion acres but every weak, an area twice the size of Rhode Island is destroyed. But truely, it all goes back to money and stupidity.
2/3 of the worlds species recide in rainforests, but nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals, insects, fish etc. will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation.
Why don't they just leave the rainforests alone!!!!! They could simply grow their own section of trees, log it, and then grow more in the same spot.
Sometimes I wish we lived in simpler times. Much Simpler!
This Planet will die if we don't stop this bullshit. I really don't think Earth even wants to live.
