+ and – effects humans have on Tropical Rainforests

Positive +

Negative -

Humans have hardly any positive effect on the rainforests, we tear them downs and ruin many animals habitats. Humans are awful..

Humans tear down forests which in a very short amount of time, will be unable to recover. The land will not be able to be used for anything but buildings after long.
