Answer 1

Answer:

The step which a conservation scientist might take to repair the damage caused in western Brazil is:

- plant new trees

Explanation:

Restoration of deforested areas is always possible.  What is required for a successful restoration of the environment is political will.  Planting new trees is important to replace trees that have been lost to logging and farming activities.  Some trees are more adaptable to certain environments.  For example, date palm trees can be planted in arid land with high survival rates.  Such trees will also provide food for the farming community.
