Partly to harvest wood, but the main reason is clearing the land to make way for agricultural activities such as cattle or sheep ranching.
They also want to use the water from the river to create electricity and for some companies to dig for example, gold and copper. It will give farmers money to feed their family and make a living.

- for farming and land for houses
- People cut down amazon rainforest for their needs and greeds like for making papers, drugs, for medical plants, fire wood, setting up industries, land for agriculture and many more things our greed never end up so to full fill it we cut the trees.
- The Amazon Rainforest is being cut down because people are cutting down trees to build crops, mines, houses, roads and many other reasons. People are also cutting down trees to make paper.
- It is being cut down and burnt and people are using the land for grazing cattle.
