"Agriculture, cattle rearing, mining, oil extraction &logging are all contributing factors {to degradation}.Loss of the Amazon, which is happening at a pace of roughly 4 soccer fields per minute, has already reached a point where some portions of the forest can no longer regenerate & have become grasslands. Directly affected are 47 million ppl living in the Amazon region who depend on the forest for their livelihoods, fresh water & other resources. #IndigenousRights #Ecocide
