Why cant cactus survive in the rainforest?
Yes, particular kinds of cactus plants can survive in the rain forest. But their adaptations are different from those that survive in the desert. They're known as epiphytes, because their roots dangle in the air. They aren't rooted in soil. Epiphytes grow on tree branches. They deal with light, not moisture deprivation. On the rain forest floor, they wouldn't get anywhere near the light that they need. So they've adapted by growing higher up in the rain forest canopy.

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.
