I am not sure how much in acres, but twenty years ago, the tropical rainforests covered 14% of the Earth's surface; today it is less than 6%. One and one-half acres are destroyed every second, and experts estimate we lose 137 plants, animal and insect species per day. Here is an article with references about the cutting down of the rain forests. http://factoidz.com/cutting-down-the-rainforest-have-we-lost-the-cure-for-cancer/
