Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface and now they cover about 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could disappear in less then 40 years!!

One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with people destroying them or fires and things like that.

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

So we had better look after our rainforests just in case they disappear and so might us as we may not be able to breath.
