The Colombian Rainforest is being destroyed as you read this. In fact, by the time you're done reading this, it is estimated that about 1,000 acres of Rainforest land have been chopped, burned, or otherwise destroyed. Each year more and more forest land is being destroyed so that Colombia can expand its economy.

Every second, 2.5 acres of this are cut down...
Thats 150 acres per minute
Or 90,000 acres an hour
Unbelievably, thats 216,000 acres a day.
Can you guess how many acres that is per year?...

All of the above land is completely destroyed in about two minutes.
