Amazon Deforestation in Brazil
The rainforest burns as it is cleared for agricultural purposes. As seen from above on a flight from Alta Floresta to Sinop, and the Xingu area.
Greenpeace document a number of areas in the Amazon, looking at people, natural wildlife and the impact that the soya industry is having on the rainforest landscape. The expansion of soya plantations in the Amazon is the leading cause of deforestation in the region as huge areas are cleared to meet agricultural demand.
