Conclusion
Unfortunetly, in this day and age, the industrial society has taken over much of the world and is cutting much into the land that tropical rainforests once occupied. The wood from the rain forests are being used to make paper and other things, such as furniture, or houses. The planet loses acres of rainforest daily.
Farming and ranching are also large threats to our world's rain forests because farmers clear large areas of rain forest to plant their crops, and since the tropical rainforest soil is low in nutrients, the farmers aren't able to reuse the same land over and over, and therefore have to cut away more of the forest yearly in order to grow the same crops every year.
The ranchers also eat away a lot at the rainforests because they clear large amounts of land to make pastures out of for their cattle. The land they come by comes cheap, and so the cattle they sell can be cheap and therefore competitive with other cattle salesmen, so they make more money than they spend and the natural greed factor comes in where they want more land to raise more cattle on so they can have a higher profit.
