-Overpopulation: Settlements need Space and Resources -Logging: Harvesting for Timber makes Money, and the Infrastructure that Connects it also Damages the Rainforest -Farming & Agriculture -Energy Development: Some Parts are Flooded all because of wanting a Dam, or maybe areas can be Razed for Biofuel Crops -Mining: Minerals can be Found underneath the Rainforest
