Why is the destruction of tropical rainforests considered to be a problem?
Ozmaniac
A whole host of reasons really, not limited to:
Habitat Destruction of local flora/fauna, Habitat fragmentation and migration corridor disruption, less plant life to assist in uptake of CO2- exacerbating global warming trend, potential for extinction of endangered wildlife and plants, not to mention the fact that many cures for diseases are derived from the plants and fungi in these areas and that in itself is a problem too...

It will be gone forever once its totally destroyed, and all the animals that live there will die, too.

The loss of these forests is upsetting the ecology of the planet. With no oxygen, animals will all die.

Characteristic of tropical rainforest?
The primary characteristic of a rainforest, is that it has a wide variety of plant life. There are temperate rainforests as well, but they follow the above description.So to our tropical rainforest is that it is in the tropics, and will be much warmer, and may or may not have lots of rain.Tropical rainforests will commonly have several layers of canopy - a climax canopy of the tall trees, a forest floor vegetation of ferns and shrubs and mosses, and an intermediate canopy of medium tall shrubs, trees, and vines.The humidity in a tropical rainforest will be high, and much of the rainfall is being continuously evaporated.One serious problem we have, is that when a tropical rainforest is cleared, the land reverts to a much drier plainland with much less forest. This is observed in the Amazon. Much of the humidity of the rainforest interior is self-generated, and not from direct rainfall.
