Logging, Amazon rainforest clearanceworkers cut down

RIO BRANCO, ACRE STATE, BRAZIL - 2024/06/07: Logging, Amazon rainforest clearanceworkers cut down trees using a chainsaw in a slash-and-burn patch of forest to create new grazing land, releasing large volumes of carbon dioxide and methane that accelerate global warming. This method, driven by agribusiness demand, not only destroys vital rainforest ecosystems and endemic wildlife habitat but also undermines the Amazon's role as a critical carbon sink, prompting calls for stronger enforcement of sustainable land-use policies.
