No+Time+To+Lose!

=**As you see on the title, there is no time to lose! One football field's worth of the rainforest is being cut down every second!** It is killing animals, and the endangered ones! In the rainforest there are medicines that we need to discover! Rainforests only cover 6% of earth's land, but it used to cover 17%! The most rare trees are also being cut down! One-fifth of the world's fresh water is found in the Amazon Basin. Rainforests are threatened by unsustainable agricultural, ranching, mining and logging practices. 86,400 football fields of rainforest per day, or over 31 million football fields of rainforest each year are being cleared.
