Q. What are the 8 biomes?

Q. How much rainforest disappears every day?
Unbelievably, more than 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day. That is more than 150 acres lost every minute of every day, and 78 million acres lost every year! More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely threatened as the destruction continues.
Q. What will happen if we destroy the Amazon rainforest?
If the Amazon rainforest is destroyed, rainfall will decrease around the forest region. This would cause a ripple effect, and prompt an additional shift in climate change, which would result in more droughts, longer dry spells, and massive amounts of flooding.
