The consequences are :
- Standing water -> mosquitoes -> Malaria
- reduction of biodiversity
- release of methane from decaying biomass
- destroyed ecosystems - > less climate stabilization
- the jungle to create infrastructure -> more and more industrial cities
causes of the Destruction of rain forests, the clearing for grazing land for livestock or crops for their food (soybeans in particular), the conversion to oil palm, banana and coffee plantations, the extraction of mineral resources like iron ore, gold, oil or gas and the construction of large dams for energy production and logging.
It is predicted that 20-50% of this area in the next 20 years will be destroyed if not a radical change occurs.
