Answer 2

Apparently a lot, because going by the statistics something like a 1,000 acres a day is being destroyed. They have been throwing this around since I was in school, haven't "they" burned it all by now?

Answer 3

The answer is changing all the time on that.40 yers ago rainforest coverd 16% of the earths land  today it's around 6 or 7% .North America is like down to two and South america still has around 2 million acres ,i think . however american corperations are trying to get their grubby litttle hand on that too. They provide 50% of earth oxygen 25% of that is from the Amazon(From Brazil  to Boliva) We (humans) have destroyed our own resources .

There are no "lost" tribes, their hidding!
