Direct drivers of deforestation in Amazon countries Cattle ranching Cattle ranching is the leading cause of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. In Brazil, this has been the case since at least the 1970s: government figures attributed 38 percent of deforestation from 1966-1975 to large-scale cattle ranching.
Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest can be attributed to many different factors. The rainforest is mainly seen as a resource for cattle pasture, valuable hardwoods, housing space, farming space (especially for soybeans), road works (such as highways and smaller roads) and medicines.n the nine years from 1991 to 2000, the area of Amazon rainforest cleared rose from 415,000 to 587,000 km 2 (160,000 to 227,000 sq mi), comparable to the total land area of Spain, Madagascar or Manitoba.
