What is the main cause of the land use conflict in the Amazon rainforest?
The Native Amazonians came to the Rainforest over 12,000 years ago. They believe the land that they arrived at first, is rightfully theirs. It has now more rapidly become hard for the Natives to continue there way of live because of the recent "modifications" of the rainforests. The rainforest first started being deforested when the capital of Brazil changed from he coastal city of Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia. Brazil's government made the decision to change the capital more inland for easier access. In the proccess of relocating, the rainforest had to be cut down to create space for the new city that would soon become very populated. As well as deforestation for land development, it is the job of loggers to cut down trees to use for products. Although there have been many reserved areas of the rainforest, the destruction is still a great problem. The government and Natives have trouble coming to agreements over the land.
