Rainforests are disappearing at alarming rates. Since the 1960s, nearly half of the world’s rainforests have been destroyed. What once covered 14% of the earth, now covers only 6%. Every day, the world loses about 81,000 hectares (200,000 acres) of rainforests. For generations, governments and economists evaluated the monetary value of rainforests by tangible benefits, without fully assessing their socio-economic advantages.
