We breathe oxygen, and breathe out carbon dioxide. Trees take in the carbon dioxide, mix it with energy from the sun= photosynthesis. So the balance is interrupted when we cut down trees, and a bunch of carbon dioxide is in the air. Another problem is the slash-and-burn method being used. The trees are burned and cleared; that sets off smoke, and the increase in carbon dioxide could potentially cause global warming. The trees are cleared for farming, but the topsoil only stays good for a few years. Then when the topsoil is cleared away, it, and the pesticides, choke off the fish and disrupt the delicate nature of the rain forest.
