Q1: Why is logging so bad for a rainforest?

[Answer]

The rainforest is full of trees, of course. There is a great demand for wood in the world.

Many of the trees in a rainforest are hardwood trees such as teak. These kinds of trees fetch high prices.

As a result, large amounts of the rainforest have been cut down for timber, which has been shipped all around the world.
