Sustainability Issues in the Rain Forest

As the population grows humanity needs to have more room to grow and the only place to go is out. The growing population also has a need for more materials. When a population is located right outside of a forest, the population does not restrict its growth to the area that is already open, they simply cut down trees and build more things in the newly cleared area. The trees that are cut also serve a purpose to be used to make various products that aid humans in their day to day activities. Forests are areas where one of a kind animal and plant species live, but their lives are constantly threatened because they are forced to live in close proximity to other species that compete for similar resources, thus killing many of these species.
