Problems:
- Most people who have experienced this have not been adequately compensated as they shift to another part of the country to resettle
- Very little awareness, support, or assistance from others who are not affected
- Mostly affects indigenous and ethnic minorities, and the urban or rural poor]]> 2021-02-04 13:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stephwong761/6jp33u5ry5x64u9b/wish/1163632607 deforestation https://padlet.com/stephwong761/6jp33u5ry5x64u9b/wish/1163651538 Brazil and the Amazon forest are also important (for the wrong reasons) deforestation areas worldwide. The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s largest forest hotspots, with huge biodiversity reserves. Its ability to store carbon and produce oxygen makes it of the “lungs” of the planet.

Since the 1960s, the Amazon forest has been under threat, and nearly 760 000 km2 (around 20% of its original size) of forest area was lost. Before 1980-1990, large industrial projects such as dams, roads, or mines were the main causes of deforestation in the Amazon region, together with subsistence farming.
According to various reports on the subject (Greenpeace, FAO), livestock farming, including soya production,  is responsible for about 70 to 80% of deforestation in the Amazon region. The development of intensive livestock production, combined with meat consumption increases in developed countries, is thus the main cause of deforestation in the Amazon forest.
