Amazonian Deforestation in the Global Context

Description:
Growing global demand for land for the production
of agricultural commodities has resulted in sometimes
irreversible changes to the world’s forest cover. The Amazon is now part of a
national and international economy
which, through globalization, is
responding to market demands, accelerating
the rate at which agricultural
crops and cattle ranching are replacing
or impoverishing native forests
(Nepstad et al. 2006).
