Scientists have recorded 1.75 million species on our planet. But they estimate there may be up to 100 million more! There may not be time to discover them all, though, as 27,000 of them become extinct each year in the rainforests alone. Rainforest is the most diverse environment known to man, but this richness means it's often taken advantage of. Over 6000 square meters of rainforest are cut down every second. We're not just losing a natural wonder, there's also a selfish cause because a quarter of pharmaceuticals originate in rainforests.
