Seventy percent of the Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests. Yet, According to the World Resources Institute, more than 80 percent of our world’s natural forests  have already been destroyed. Since rainforests generate rainfall in other drought-prone areas of the world, their destruction in areas of west Africa may have caused two decades of droughts in the interior of Africa, along with severe hardship and famine.
