Question

Huge amounts of land in the Brazilian rainforest available for settlement.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The researchers found that the settlements, which comprise just 5.3 percent of the 5 million square kilometers (over 1.2 billion acres) of Brazilian Amazon, contributed as much as 13.5 percent of all deforestation recorded to date. Forest cover in the settlements declined, on average, to about 44 percent.
