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.

Well obviously people are cutting it down to make residental areas and also many animals are being destroyed which protect the rainforest by bigger and more infuritaing animals.
The tropical rainforest qualifies as such.
Most medicines are synthesised nowadays. The destruction of the rain forests will have no noticeable impact on our ability to produce medicines.
