Deforestation can lead to disturbance in the general circulation, most notably the Hardley and Walker circulations. Changes in large-scale circulation lead to significant changes in precipitation outside of the deforested region: particularly over…

With the invasion of the Amazon, these ethnic groups now need to share the forests with a growing number of settlers who seek to tap into the Amazon’s considerable natural resources. Hunter-gatherer groups were once generally nomadic, living in small settlements for a couple of years until the resources were exhausted. Because of land colonization by non-indigenous people, many local groups were forced into sedentary lifestyles. These changes not only destroy traditional lifestyles, but also…

Tropical deforestation is an issue that has plagued mankind since the beginning of time. It is an important component of global change and has a large influence on many different environmental issues we have today such as climate change and carbon emissions. Over a twelve year period that ended in 2012, 1.1 million km2 of tropical forest was lost, with the rate of forest loss increasing during this span. One of the largest and most biodiverse tropical forests’ in the world is the Amazon,…

of cows which makes it the world largest commercial cattle herd, and the largest beef exporter, therefore, according to Brazil’s national space institute about 61 % the area in the Amazon has already occupied by cattle. Another contributor to deforestation is logging in the Amazon which occurred because of the massive marketing for wood products worldwide. As well as selective logging in rainforest leads to rise susceptibility to fire because it leaves a dense forest which becomes naturally…
