History

Nostrana [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Deforestation – From 2012 to 2013, deforestation increased by a staggering 28%. According to a UN report released in 2016, Brazil experienced a loss of nearly 55,000 hectares between the years 1990 and 2015

Farming – Demand for crops and livestock has increased, and natural vegetation has consequently been converted to crop and pasture areas. Between 1985 and 2006, total area for this use jumped from 126 to 161 million hectares.

Mining – Mining has caused severe environmental damage including oil spills and dam ruptures.

Desertification – Natural and anthropic factors have resulted in desertification, most notably in the Caatinga biome.

Illegal hunting and predatory fishing – Genetic diversity of fauna is threatened by poaching, which causes species extinction and disrupts the ecosystem’s food chain.

Infrastructure megaprojects – Highways, hydroelectric dams, and manufacturing plants have increased carbon dioxide and methane levels, accelerating climate change.

Natural and prescribed burning – Wildfires release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air, while prescribed burning for agricultural purposes affects soil fertility and flora/fauna species.

Limited conservation areas – Private preserve areas need to be expanded to meet adequate levels of environmental protection.

Climate change – The effects of climate change, such as more frequent droughts, increasing temperatures, and additional wildfires, will negatively impact Brazil.
