Why is 290,000 square kilometres of South America s second largest forest being cleared?

This time NASA monitors the second largest forest in South America, and the Grand Chaco is no longer the most famous forest in South America, however, its role in the South American ecosystem is not low, and its area and biodiversity are second only to the neighboring Amazon rainforest. At the same time, the whole forest and humidity are different from the Amazon, the Gran Chaco is in a semi-arid climate, so the population of living organisms is different, and this is what differentiates it.

But now it is facing the same fate as the Amazon rainforest, which has also faced rapid deforestation in recent years, according to unreliable published data, in Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil, an area of about 650,000 square kilometers, the Gran Chakota is actually the largest arid forest in South America, it is mainly composed of shrubs and broad-leaved trees, providing habitat for thousands of species of plants and hundreds of species of animals.

Therefore, South America is a treasure of the earth, but we humans do not know how to cherish and protect it, which leads to the continuous decline of data on the entire forest area, and finally causes people to worry about the development of the ecosystem, according to NASA's observations through land satellites, probably from 1985 to 2013, a total of 35 years, about 20 of the forests were cut down, a total of 142,000 square kilometers were converted into farmland or pastures, of which, most of the Gran Chaco forests, which span several countries, were destroyed in Argentina.

Probably from 2010 to 2018, over a period of 8 years, more than 29,000 square kilometers of Gran Chaco were cut down for farms and pastures, so the data directly indicates that the destruction of forests is very serious, and as the third largest soybean producer in the world, deforestation is the most direct explanation, that is, production will inevitably bring some damage, and the study also shows that soybean production was a direct driver of deforestation in the 2000s.

The question of why 10,000 square kilometers of South America's second-largest forest has been cut down is explained here today.

Although China is relatively developed, the problem of food and clothing has been generally solved, and it is running towards a well-off society in an all-round way, but in some areas are relatively backward and there is no way to solve the problem of food and clothing, they can only cut down trees to obtain the economy.

10,000 square kilometers of South America's second-largest forest will be cut down because of local production needs, so it will inevitably damage the forest.

To put it simply, it is still driven by profit, and no one will be idle and idle to do and cut down the forest. What's more, it is such a large forest, and people can only cut it down to make a profit.
