Deforestation in the Amazon

three types of human land use in the amazon drainage basin are: 1. logging,  2. farming, and 3. mining.

1. logging is a major problem not only for brazil and surrounding countries but for the entire world through global warming and ethical issues. Only a small portion of the bush in Amazonia is viable to log yet all of it is destroyed to reach these rarities.

2. Farming is also dangerous to the Amazon basin as areas are cleared for logging, farmed for a few years and then abandoned when the soils are ruined.

3. Mining is another land use of the Amazon. Companies exploit the natural resources and leave the mining site as a desolate landscape unable to regenerate.
