In the Amazon, industrial-scale cattle ranching and soybean production for world markets are increasingly important causes of deforestation, and in Indonesia, the conversion of tropical forest to commercial palm tree plantations to produce bio-fuels for export is a major cause of deforestation on Borneo and Sumatra.he single biggest direct cause of tropical deforestation is conversion to cropland and pasture, mostly for subsistence, which is growing crops or raising livestock to meet daily needs. The conversion to agricultural land usually results from multiple direct factors.
The deforestation of tropical rainforests is leading to a phenomenal loss of global biodiversity and the consequent loss of medicines, foods and other resources. Deforestation is also leading to localized changing weather patterns, flooding and an increase in carbon emissions and climate change.
