Why are Rainforest Disappearing? Rainforests are being destroyed because the increasing population of earth is demanding more natural resources.Rainforests are being destroyed because the increasing population of earth is demanding more natural resources. Example of natural resources is Trees, Land, Rich soil, and Rare animals.Example of natural resources is Trees, Land, Rich soil, and Rare animals.

Pros and Cons Cons 1)Different types of animals are destroyed. 2) By cutting down major rainforest provide 25% of the worlds clean air. Pros 1)Makes room for population. 2)Industrial Plants. 3)Agriculture (Farming) Pros 1)Makes room for population. 2)Industrial Plants. 3)Agriculture (Farming)
