Title

Amazon Deforestation ndash in 2005
Almost one fifth of the Amazon
rainforest had been cleared
9000 sq miles cut down in 2004 alone
the second highest on record 6
higher than the previous 12 months
40 increase between 2001 and 2002
Deforestation was worst in
the state of Mato Grosso
Title

Amazon Deforestation ndash in 2014
Deforestation has
fallen by 70 in the
Brazilian Amazon
region during the last
decade from a 10
year average of
19500 km2 in 2005 to
5800 km2 in 2013

Amazon Deforestation ndash in 2014
How large is one hectare
1 hectare is 14 football pitches
Greenpeace say that during a 90 minute
football match 122 football pitches of
rainforest are cut down Convert this to
hectares (Multiply by 14)
How accurate is Greenpeacersquos data In 2013 the amount
of deforestation was 5800 km2
5800 km2 multiply by 100 = hectares per year
____________ divided by 365 = hectares per year
____________ divided by 24 = hectares per hour
____________ divided by 60 = hectares per min

Causes of deforestation
40 increase between 2001 and 2002
ldquoThis pie chart showing deforestation in
the Amazon by cause is based on the
median figures for estimate ranges
Please note the low estimate for large-
scale agriculture Between 2000-2005
soybean cultivation resulted in a small
overall percentage of direct deforestation
Nevertheless the role of soy is quite
significant in the Amazon As explained
by Dr Philip Fearnside Soybean farms
cause some forest clearing directly But
they have a much greater impact on
deforestation by consuming cleared land
savanna and transitional forests thereby
pushing ranchers and slash-and-burn
farmers ever deeper into the forest
frontier Soybean farming also provides a
key economic and political impetus for
new highways and infrastructure projects
which accelerate deforestation by other
actorsrdquo Source Mongabaycom
