It will be gone forever once its totally destroyed, and all the animals that live there will die, too.

Why do they do cattle ranching in the rain forest?
They don't use the rainforest. It's the land that the rainforest was once on that is used. Rainforests are cut down and burned to allow for more farming to be done, and grass seed to be sown so cattle can graze in those areas. The more land that a cattle baron can purchase, the larger his cattle herd can be and the more profit he can obtain when selling excess stock. Land that had been "improved" or been converted from rainforest to agricultural land is cheaper than land that has been used for agricultural purposes, thus making it a good investment for such ranchers to make as a means to increase their land size and thus their herd as well.

Maybe that's why the tree fell? And the moral of that is.....if men would keep their feet planted firmly on the ground, they wouldn't have to be "up a tree".
