The Most Important
Piece Of Rainforests Information To Understand Is This:
If no action is taken, between 2012 and 2016 the land area of virgin
Rainforests will go below the critical built-in natural safeguard threshold
providence of 10% virgin Rainforests area with its 50% species remaining.
This issue of Rainforests destruction and mass species extinctions is
the # 1 issue facing humanity. We now may have as little as 5 years
to create the awareness to completely stop Rainforests destruction before
this momentum brings us through our Omega Point.
Square Measure:
Square Kilometer = .3861 Square Mile = 100 Hectares = 247.1 Acres
Square Mile = 2.59 Square Kilometers = 259 Hectares = 640 Acres
Land Area, Water Area And Surface Area Of Earth:
Earth Land Area 57,510,000 Square Miles ( ELA ) = 29.2% TSA
Earth Water Area 139,440,000 Square Miles = 70.8% TSA
Total Surface Area 196,950,000 Square Miles ( TSA )
Variables Of Original Virgin Rainforests Area ( 12,000 Years Ago ):
Rainforests 25 Million Sq K = 9,652,500 Sq M = 16.78% ELA = 4.9% TSA
Rainforests 17 Million Sq K = 6,563,700 Sq M = 11.41% ELA = 3.3% TSA
We go with 25 Million Sq. Kilometers
Variables Of Rainforests Species % Of Total Species Found On Earth:
The best scientific
estimates are from 40 to 75% of all species on Earth are indigenous
to the Rainforests. We
go with 61.8% Which is the Fibonacci Series ratio number.
This ratio is prevalent throughout nature.
Variables On The Number Of Species On Earth:
The best scientific
estimates are from 20 to 100 million species on Earth. We go with
65,453,075 We use the Fibonacci Series and Golden Rectangle number
1.618 which is also found throughout nature and apply this to how many
species there originally where per square kilometer. Then times it by
the 25,000,000 square kilometers, once the original size of the Rainforests
and you get 40,450,000 Rainforests species. We believe the Rainforests
were home to 61.8% of all the original species, Biodiversity, Web of
Life found on Earth. This would make the total for all of the species
originally on Earth 65,453,075.
Variables On Rainforests Destruction
This Year:
The best estimates are from 200,000 to 240,000 sq. kilometers
= 77,220 to 92,664 Square Miles
We go with 227,500 Sq Kilometers = 87,838 Square Miles
This = 56,216,320 Acres Per Year
This = 1.78 Acres Per Second = 107 Acres Per Minute = 6417 Acres Per Hour
This means each day this year the amount of virgin Rainforests land area
being destroyed will be equal to the land area of the city of Tokyo, Japan,
240 Square Miles.
Variables On Rainforests Species Extinctions:
1) 20 to 100 million species are found on Earth
2) 40 to 75% of all species are found in the Rainforests
3) 200,00 to 240,000 Square Kilometers of Rainforests Destroyed in 2000
4) 17 to 25 Million Square Kilometers of original virgin Rainforests
5) The x .555 is based on Island Biogeography In the first 90% of virgin
Rainforests land area destroyed 50% of its species goes extinct = 9 /
5 = .555
In the last 10% of virgin Rainforests area - 50% of Rainforests species
remain,
since there is still over 10% virgin Rainforests land area left the 9
/ 5 applies.
If we were to take all the low variables:
1) 20 million species 2) 40% 3) 200,000 sq. k
4) 25 million sq. k:
20 million x .4 = 8 million Rainforests Species
8 / 25 = .32 Extinctions Per Sq K of Rainforests
x 200,000 Sq K Per Year = 64,000 / 365 = 175 Per Day
x .555 = 93 Rainforests Species Extinctions Per Day
35,520 Rainforests Species Extinctions Per Year
If we were to take all the high variables:
1) 100 million species 2) 75% 3) 240,000 sq.
k 4) 17 m sq. k:
100 million x .75 = 75 million Rainforests Species
75 / 17 = 4.41 Extinctions Per Sq K of Rainforests
x 240,000 Sq K Per Year = 1,058,400 / 365 = 2900 Per Day
x .555 = 1609 Rainforests Species Extinction Per Day
587,412 Rainforests Species Extinctions Per Year
If we were to take our variables:
1) 65,453,075 species 2) 61.8% 3) 227,500 sq.
k 4) 25 m sq. k:
65,453,075 million x .618 = 40,450,000
Rainforests Species
40,450,000 / 25 = 1.618 Extinctions Per Sq k of Rainforests
x 227,500 Sq K Per Year = 368,095 / 365 = 1008 Per Day
x .555 = 560 Rainforests Species Extinction Per Year
204,293 Rainforests Species Extinctions Per Year
This = 1 Rainforests species extinction every 2 minutes and 33 seconds
Variables on Rainforests Land And Species % Left As Of January 1,
2000:
17 to 25 Million Square Kilometers of original virgin Rainforests area
The best estimate for virgin Rainforests area left as of January 1,
2000 is
5.93 Million Square Kilometers = 2.29 Million Square Miles
5.93 million Sq K left / 25 million Sq K = 23.73% VRA = 57.63% Species
5.93 million Sq K left / 17 million Sq K = 28.67% VRA = 60.37% Species
Destruction of virgin Rainforests land area in
the year 2000 will cause somewhere between 93 and 1609 Rainforests species
extinctions per day. We go with 560.
This equals 1 Rainforests
species extinction every 2 minutes and 33 seconds. Each
day this year the amount of virgin Rainforests land area being destroyed
will be equal to the land area of the city of Tokyo, Japan, 240 Square
Miles.
The Most Important
Piece Of Rainforests Information To Understand Is This:
Between 2012 and 2016 virgin Rainforests area will go the below critical
built-in natural threshold of 10% virgin Rainforests area with its 50%
Species remaining.
