Answer 1

If you mean cutting them down:

1. Provides land for grazing for cows etc

2. Foreign expensive wood to sell

3. Trees store CO2, which is released if the trees are cut down or burnt

4. Destruction of natural habitats resulting in decreased biodiversity

5. Loss of plants that could be used as medicines

6. Destruction of homes for tribes

Answer 2

http://www.amazon-rainforest.org/  this explains the bio-diversity (enviornment), the tribes (social) and the products and economy. check the links.
