The Amazon rainforest is located in 8 countries: Brazil, which has about 60% of the rainforest in it, Peru, Columbia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. There are 20-40 million species inhabiting it, and there are about 7,500,000,000,000 trees in the Amazon (7.5 trillion), or at least used to be. Every day a part of the rainforest the size of a baseball field is being demolished, and some scientists predict the rainforest will be gone by 2030. Last but not least, the size of the rainforest is astonishing. It is estimated to be an incredible 1.2 billion acres or 7 million square kilometers!
