Amazon Rainforest in Burning Season
The Brazilian Rainforest is seen here, on a Flight from Alta Floresta to Claudia.
Dead Brazilian Nut trees (Castanheiras) stand dead near Claudia in the land of the proposed Parque das Castanheiras. The Brazilian nut tree is a protected species under Brazilian law. During the dry season big sections of the rainforest are set on fire by farmers to be cleared for soy or cattle farming.

Large sections of the Amazon rainforest are set on fire during the burning season when farmers clear large areas for soy farming or cattle breeding. Most of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions result from deforestation, with the majority coming from the clearing and burning of the Amazon rainforests.
