Large areas of the Amazon rainforest are being cleared primarily for agriculture, particularly for cattle ranching and crop production, such as soybeans. Deforestation is often driven by economic incentives, as land can be more profitably used for farming than left as forest. Additionally, illegal logging and infrastructure development, such as roads and mining, further contribute to the destruction of this vital ecosystem. This deforestation poses significant threats to biodiversity, climate regulation, and indigenous communities.
