A whole host of reasons really, not limited to:

Habitat Destruction of local flora/fauna, Habitat fragmentation and migration corridor disruption, less plant life to assist in uptake of CO2- exacerbating global warming trend, potential for extinction of endangered wildlife and plants, not to mention the fact that many cures for diseases are derived from the plants and fungi in these areas and that in itself is a problem too...

What problems are rainforests facing today?

Rainforests are facing threats such as deforestation for agriculture, logging, and mining, leading to habitat destruction for many plant and animal species. Climate change is also impacting rainforests through increased temperatures and altered precipitation patterns, affecting the delicate balance of these ecosystems. Additionally, illegal hunting and wildlife trafficking contribute to the decline of various species in rainforests.


What is destroying the tropical rainforests of the world?

Logging and slash-and-burn clearing for agriculture first, but the big problem is the erosion that follows after that kind of clearing. Erosion caused by unsustainable agriculture and logging prohibits the forest from growing back.

What problems do rainforests have?

A large amount of undiscovered species in the tropical rainforest biome could become extinct before science has a chance to discover them. The tropical rainforest cuts down on the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere, but does not increase the relative amount of oxygen because it is net oxygen neutral. Sediments in the soil could be washed into the water shelf due to deforestation. Large-scale flooding could result due to a massive amount of water not being absorbed by organisms in the environment.

Is the destruction of rain forests a serious problem?

It will be gone forever once its totally destroyed, and all the animals that live there will die, too. The Rainforests are where a large portion of the oxygen is produced on the planet, and where carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. The loss of these forests is upsetting the ecology of the planet. With no oxygen, animals will all die.


Characteristic of tropical rainforest?

The primary characteristic of a rainforest, is that it has a wide variety of plant life. There are temperate rainforests as well, but they follow the above description.So to our tropical rainforest is that it is in the tropics, and will be much warmer, and may or may not have lots of rain.Tropical rainforests will commonly have several layers of canopy - a climax canopy of the tall trees, a forest floor vegetation of ferns and shrubs and mosses, and an intermediate canopy of medium tall shrubs, trees, and vines.The humidity in a tropical rainforest will be high, and much of the rainfall is being continuously evaporated.One serious problem we have, is that when a tropical rainforest is cleared, the land reverts to a much drier plainland with much less forest. This is observed in the Amazon. Much of the humidity of the rainforest interior is self-generated, and not from direct rainfall.
