Many animals wouldn't have anywhere to live and would sadly die. The rain forest as it name states is mostly characterised by heavy rainfall.

If this rainforest is destroyed, there are just so many terrible things and catastrophes one would not imagine.The rainforest due to its heavy rainfall, has an unlimited varieties of plants and animals. This is because like we all know,the heavy rain improves on the soil fertility, creates passages in the soil for easy infiltration of chemicals into the soil so plants grow in a vast manner that's why it is also characterised by an evergreen forest. Evergreen in the sense that it is round the year green.

This same Rainforest with its variety of animals species gives it a huge and unlimited supply of carbon dioxide for its plants during photosynthesis and vice versa. Can we then imagine if these things where not there what would happen to this forest. The animals, when dead, provide fertilizer to the soil after haven been decomposed by the unlimited variety of micro organisms too.

Let's say this forest was destroyed by whatever means unknown:

The plants will be cut down and the evergreen nature will become ever brown meaning, the soils will remain naked in term of Biology, the micro organisms will die of hunger because they have nothing to feed on,the animals will become extinct since they do not have a habitat nor food to eat excluding the Carnivores who will eat on the herbivores and the herbivores will feed on nothing so they will finally be greatly endangered.

The climate on its part will be polluted greatly with the huge carbon dioxide from the animals since there are no trees to use the carbon dioxide and during burning if in case the destruction was catalysed by burning hence, Global warming. This same climate will be deprived of rain because rain doesn't only fall but need a cyclic pathway which is transpiration from trees, evaporation from the soil and respiration from animals and guess what happens if these sources are not there.

Why can't roads easily be built into the amazon rain forest?

The rain forest is a vital part of the water cycle. It is the engine of the cycle and without it the weather and water cycle would be changed dramatically. There is no reason to build roads in the rain forest and the trees and animals there would be destroyed. The land under the canapy is poor land for growing anything.
