The rain forests are being destroyed for many different reasons.
In Brazil, the forests have been clear cut to provide farmland for soybean farmers. These soybeans are then sold to chicken farmers in Europe as feed. Consumers can boycott such chickens.
Also in Brazil, the rain forest has been cut down to provide access for gold mining. Brazil needs stricter laws to prevent the mining companies from taking away the land from the Indigenous peoples.
Big Oil companies are exploiting the rain forest in Ecuador. The government could stop this if it desired.
Huge areas of rain forest have been cut down and burned in Indonesia in order to make room for rubber plantations.
Relatively little rain forest destruction is related to slash and burn agriculture, but many forests are destroyed to make room for grazing land for cattle. Replacing beef with a vegetarian or insect-based diet will help save the rain forests.
The rain forests also contain valuable hardwood, which is used in furniture making. You can help by buying only furniture that has been certified as being legally harvested.
Some paper makers use the trees in the rain forest for their products. As consumers, we can demand that manufacturers use more recycled paper.

helping the indigenous peoples find more sustainable agricultural practices, or training them in some profession other than agriculture. They clear-cut thousands of acres of rain forest every year.
Also, send money to conservation organizations that buy chunks of rain forest for preservation.

secondly that should be repalced by other trees
and thirdly is the enivornmental pollution should be reduced in order to maintain the life in the rain forest.
because of the release of some poisonous gases in the air , it will also affect the growth of the trees.
