This statement is TRUE . Humans have impacted the rainforests through mining, agriculture, and construction.

The rainforest has the largest concentration of biodiversity and a massive reservoir of carbon and produces rainfall all around the planet. This rain also helps fill reservoirs for major cities and irrigate crops. It slows soil erosion and prevent flooding. The rainforest plays a critical role in our planet, as it is affected the climate and global climate change.  

Due to deforestation, the amount of tropical rainforest throughout the world have been decreased. The major cause of the deforestation right now are  mining, logging, infrastructure expansion, construction and agriculture expansion.  

Conversion from rainforest into agriculture plantation because of the increased of global demand for commodities such as palm oil and soybean. The infrastructure expansion also causes deforestation, for example, build a new road and new residential areas. This also can lead to logging and illegal logging due to easier access and transportation. Mining also causes deforestation, to mine, trees, and vegetation are cleared and burned.
