Beef Destroys The Amazon
Brazil's Amazon rainforest sees worst 6 months of wildfires in 20 years, data shows.
The 13,489 wildfires – likely sparked by agricultural burning – recorded from January to June 2024 represents a more than 60 percent increase year-on-year.
Cattle ranching is the biggest single cause of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest, accounting for about 80% of the Amazon's deforestation as forests are cleared for farmers to raise herds of cattle, primarily for exporting beef.
