Human impact in the Amazon rainforest
Who lives in the Amazon Rainforest?
There are a lot of tribes that live in the Amazon rainforest. These tribes have different cultures and traditions that are passed down for all Amazon tribes. For example: Yanomami tribes are the largest tribe in the Amazon today and they have different traditions from the Caboclos, Witoto, Manioc, and the Kayapo, who also live in the Amazon.
The Caboclos are known for their skilled hunters and cooks. They are also very wise and can live in the Amazon without any problems.
One tradition that the Witot tribe follow is that they eat meat of the people they kill and use their bones as souvenirs.

Deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest
Deforestation in the Amazon mainly began when human settlement developed in the land. A total area of 415,000 to 587,000 km² of land was cleared during 1991 to 2000 and most of the land was replaced with cattle.
In February 2008, the Brazilian government announced that the rate of deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest had rapidly decreased. In just the last five months of 2007, more than 3,200 sq. Kilometers was deforested.
Although the Amazon Rainforest continues to shrink, the rate of deforestation has become the slowest in 2011, according to the records that have been kept.
