Well, as you know deforestation is everywhere. So how much is it happening in the world? It can't be too much can it? Well, here's a little bit of information to help you out.

Now, 90% of all forests no longer existent. 80% of these forests are no longer existent, because of deforestation!
What about Kenya?
3, 522, 000 hectares have been deforested just in Kenya. 6.2% of the land has been deforested already. 12, 600 hectares are cut down and cleared every year.
