Woah... i was about to say it might not be in acres but....
'..Unbelievably, over 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day in the world. That is over 150 acres lost every minute of every day. Experts estimate that at the current rate of destruction, the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years. Experts also estimate that we are losing 130 species of plants, animals and insects every single day as they become extinct from the loss of rainforest land and habitats..'

like LEGIT rain forgets none but there are over 1000's of tree cut down in a day!!
Three acres every two seconds!
the answer is
i would say that mayby 6%
15 trees are lost every day
170 acres per second in the world
proboly about 1907 per second
Recycling half of the worlds paper would save 20 million acres of forest. Wow!
1.2 billion -that is inaccurate. There are 1.4 billion acres in the Amazon alone and the Amazon comprises about half of the rainforest area of the world.
Every second whole football field is being cut down all over the world.
The World's second largest rain forest.....

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) found that tropical deforestation rates increased 8.5 percent from 2000-2005 when compared with the 1990s.All round the world tropical rainforests lost 10,240,000 hectares (25 million acres) every year between 1990 and 2005.That's:10,240,000 hectares (25,000,000 acres) in one year. Or197,000 ha (481,000 acres) in one week. Or28,000 ha (69,000 acres) in one day. Or1172 ha (2861 acres) in one hour. Or19.5 ha (48 acres) every minute.0.33 ha (0.8 acres) every second.That's about 36 football fields of rainforest lost every minute.An American Football field measures 0.53 ha (1.32 acres).Countries annually losing the most rainforest 1990 and 2005:Brazil: 2,974,867 ha (7,351,000 acres) per yearIndonesia: 1,447,800 ha (3,577,000 acres)Papua New Guinea: 266,600 ha (660,000 acres)Bolivia: 135,200 ha (334,000 acres)Peru: 123,000 ha (304,000 acres)More information at the link below.
