Trees in the rainforest are being cut to market the lumber and to clear the land. Those are the two primary reasons. This activity destroys the ecosystem; it transorms into something else. The largest portion of the animals and the plants that lived there and made up that complex web of life will be displaced or simply vanish.
To make furniture, cabinets, paper, and anything else that wood makes. It is a cheap and (at the moment) readily available source.
People cut down trees to grow crops and for land development. Trees help us have homes, paper, desks, pencils, and more. But you shouldn't cut down too many because trees also do good things to our environment. They give us oxygen to breathe and they remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing the threat of global warming.
Here are some estimated numbers:
You need about 8 trees per person
There are about 7 Billion people in the world
We need about 56 billion trees to survive
There are around 5 trillion trees
about 5 billion are cut down every year
around 3.4 billion are planted every year
Just looking at these numbers you can see that sooner or later we will run out of trees. Also these numbers are only for humans to survive, think about all of the other animals in the world. There are also plenty of fires that can burn up oxygen too.
Because they use the land for grazing animals (mostly cows) and sell the wood. Farming is a large part of South America's economy and cows require large spaces for grazing to keep up with the demand for meat.
