Tropical rainforest How are humans affecting this biome, directly and/or indirectly?

Overexploitation: Human activity and development in the tropical rainforest has lead to massive amounts of forest land being converted into other human uses such as mining or agriculture. Overexploitation of the rain forests Natural resource is a highly damaging impact that humans have on the rainforest, massive amounts of trees are cut down in the rainforest which are used for the timber industry, this cutting down of the trees causes a massive drop in the habitat of the forest’s organisms and the machinery  used to complete this process provide a massive source of pollution and habitat destruction. Approximately 80% of the rainforests nutrients comes from trees and plants. That leaves 20% of the nutrients in the soil. when trees are over exploited conditions change very quickly, the soil dries up and causes erosion. Poaching and hunting are a major issue in the tropical rainforest, exotic creatures are being over hunted causing their populations to go into the danger zones and on the verge of extinction. Furthermore, the rainforest is being used up at an exeptional rate for mining purposes: oil, gold and iron ore are being mined at a massive rate.
