Destruction of the rainforest is from people looking for farmland. If they had a way to grow crops in the shade, like some varieties of coffee are, or if the people could find another way to make a living such as fishing or cottage based industries, they wouldn't have to cut the trees.

All listed in answers one and two, also reduction in oxygen creation, destruction of animal habitat, the release of buried microbes from hundreds/millions of years back!
All bets are off on what issues that stirs up!
