I am doing a school geography project and while researching i found this shocking fact : every day 174873600 square meters of the amazon is destroyed .
More information : every second one and a half acers are destroyed.
The main causes of destruction are new large roads , illegal logging, cattle ranching (which causes the most destruction) mining , HEP Stations (hydro electric power) and colonisation (where the government gives out land cheaply to the poor who then , in most cases, burn it )
What else can I help you with?
