1. Rainforests are found on every continent across the Earth, except Antarctica.
2. Covering less than 2% of the Earth's total surface area, the world's rainforests are home to 50% of the Earth's plants and animals.
3. Rainforests act as the world's thermostat and are critical in maintaining the Earth's limited supply of drinking and fresh water.
4. Originally, 6 million square miles of tropical rainforest existed worldwide. But as a result of deforestation, only 2.6 million square miles remain.
5. Every second, a slice of rainforest the size of a football field is mowed down. That's 86,400 football fields of rainforest per day, or over 31 million football fields of rainforest each year.
