Question

deforestation in barazil and indonesia main reason and how international trade can increase deforestation level?

Answer 1

forest. The main reasons of deforestation are agricultural or grazing expansion, wood extraction (e.g., wood or logging harvest for domestic charcoal or fuel), and infrastructure expansion (e.g., construction of building, roads and urbanization).

Indonesia suffers from being a significant illegal land clearing and illegal logging conditions in the globe. Moreover the country does not have any strategic approach on forest law enforcement. Large forest area in Indonesia have been cleared by huge multinational pulp firmss, e.g. Asia Pulp and Paper, and replaced with the plantations. Moreover the farmers and plantation owners often burns the forests. Furthermore, main deforestation source is the logging industry, driven by demand from nations like Japan and China. The main cause of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest is the cattle ranching. The commercial agriculture, inclusive of corn, rice, and sugar cane, make their contribution to deforestation in the Amazon, both directly with the conversion of forest and indirectly with driving up the values of land

The international trade can influences the level of deforestation level such as a country’s foreign debt, expansion in international markets for rainforest pulpwood and timber, or low domestic costs of labor, land, and fuel may encourage deforestation over more sustainable usage of land.
