Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a 6% and we estimate the rainforests could be completely destroyed in less than 40 years, because every minute 150 acres is being destroyed, so every day that adds up to 216,000 acres of rainforest is destroyed , so every week 1,512,000 acres destroyed, so every month 2,286,144,000,000, so every year 54,867,456,000,000.
