The main causes of deforestation of the Amazon rainforest are human settlement and development of the land. In 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.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.
Deforestation occurs for many reasons: trees are cut down to be used or sold as fuel (sometimes in the form of charcoal) or timber, while cleared land is used as pasture for livestock, plantations of commodities and settlements.thers state that tropical rainforest deforestation is contributing to the ongoing Holocene mass extinction. The known extinction rates from deforestation rates are very low, approximately 1 species per year from mammals and birds which extrapolates to approximately 23,000 species per year for all species.
