The tropical rainforests are rapidly disappearing, being destroyed at a rate of 80,000 acres per day, and now only covering 5% of the Earth's land. This is problematic as it leads to species extinction and loss of important ecosystem services. However, there are solutions that can help save the rainforests, such as teaching others about their importance, restoring damaged ecosystems, encouraging sustainable lifestyles, establishing protected areas, supporting environmentally-friendly companies, increasing agricultural productivity on existing lands, developing ecotourism, and reducing/reusing/recycling resources.
