Deforestation In The Amazon

NORTHWEST OF PORTO VELHO, BRAZIL - SEPTEMBER 16: Fires burn along the Trans-Amazonian Highway near the Aripuana National Forest, in the state of Amazonas, in Brazil, September 16, 2021. Deforestation continues at extraordinary rates across the Amazon, led by land clearing for meat producers and cattle ranchers, along with illegal mining. The most common means of deforestation is by fire, when ranchers burn the land in order to create farms to raise and graze cattle. Roughly one fifth of the Amazon rainforest has already been destroyed, and according to Greenpeace, land grabbing on public lands is linked to one-third of all Amazon deforestation in Brazil.
