Deforestation question? If we are currently destroying 60 acres of tropical forest every minute (approx 32,000,000 acres per year), how many years until the worlds tropical forests are gone?

And how can such mass destruction occur without a worldwide cry?

IMP, good question, is this hype about deforestation just that, hype? In china they are reforesting and what about the natural growth of new trees? Is deforestation a political or NGO issue looking for more cash?
