Well, sadly, the negative effects of deforestation massively outrank the positive effects of deforestation, but here are some of the positive effects of deforestation:

1. It gives lots of people, who would otherwise be jobless, employment, which in turn increases their standard of life etc.

2. It supplies the economy with raw materials, such as pulp for paper, wood for chairs, desks, whatever.

3. It gives room for grazing land and land for crops, which can give someone a job, which increases their standard of life (particularly in 3rd world countries)

4. Some forests are full of plants and trees which are not native to the area, which destroy animal habitats and other plant life, such as Ageratina Adenophora.

5. In relation to points 1,2 and 3, deforestation gives many communities the opportunity to make positive changes in their lives, like building a community.

6. Deforestation often occurs to make communications or transportation easier, which improves an areas accessibility, which in turn helps their economy etc.

7. It gives room for things such as offices, hospitals, schools or whatever to be built, which help a community a lot more than a bit of forest.

8. On a very small scale, such as practiced by the native people of the amazon, deforestation leaves the ground more fertile, so crops can be grown. (However this is only done on completely different patches, with years between when they deforest the same patch again.)

9. Often, it helps the transport of a valuable material, such as oil (there was a case recently, cant remember where), which is clearly much more beneficial than a few thousand trees.

A:Deforestation allows for a couple of economic and social commodities for humans.

Firstly, deforestation provides tree trunks which are harvested for a strong material that makes them so stiff, cellulose, used for making paper and other related products.

Secondly, deforestation introduces a large amount of space that could be used for the expansion of human housing or simply factory space.

Lastly, deforestation helps decrease fire hazard since the fire has nothing to spread on, although this is a rare technique it certainty helps.

BONUS: This is extremely rare, but deforestation can also be used to aid the composition of the terrain, it works as a fertilizer.

A:One of the easiest benefits of deforestation to spot are the economic ones. Lumber products are one of the most staple constructive materials in human society. Whether it's raw lumber used for making tables and houses, or paper and other wood by-products, we simply cannot live without the use of lumber. Like steel and stone, wood is one of the most basic Natural Resources, and unlike steel and stone, it is renewable simply by growing more trees. The only real trick to balancing its consumption is to grow more trees to replace the ones taken. On a similarly related note, keep in mind that a lot of jobs revolve around the use of lumber. Wood cutters aside, there are those who work in processing plants to make glue from wood sap, process pulp into paper, and others. This is another benefit of deforestation; it opens more job opportunities for people who would otherwise be unemployed. These job opportunities are more than simply a humanitarian concept; society at large would suffer if all of the people working in the wood industry were to suddenly find themselves jobless. This benefit of deforestation not only covers the people who cut down trees and process them, but also extends to the people who "clean up" after them. For every patch of forest cut down, arable land becomes available for farmers, or can be used as an area to place urban living sites like apartments, houses, and buildings. The number of people employed by such a construction project are many and varied. Or, if the city/government mandates replanting trees to replace the lost ones, then jobs are also provided for those people who do the seeding after a patch of forest is stripped.
