2.2.4 Amazon Rainforest - Case Study info Note The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth but is shrinking due to deforestation. Why is Deforestation a Problem in the Amazon? Size The Amazon covers an area of around 8 million km² and is mainly found in Brazil (and Peru). Since 1978, over 750,000 km² (three times the size of the UK) has been destroyed. Causes 70% of deforestation was caused by cattle ranching. 25% was caused by agriculture and farming. 3% was lost to logging. 2% was lost to other activities such as mineral extraction (gold mining), road building, and dam building. Amazon Rainforest Population Pressure Population growth and migration to the area put pressure on the Amazon rainforest. The Brazilian Government offers land in the rainforest to poor people to reduce overcrowding in cities.
