The primary drivers of #deforestation in the #Amazon โ and other biomes in #Brazil such as the #Pantanal and the #Cerrado โ are #agribusiness and #meat consumption.
A survey released by the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM) showed that #cattle pastures occupied 75% of the deforested area on public lands in the Amazon. Other causes of deforestation include the construction of new highways, logging roads, dams, and mines.

Wetlands are Earthโs most threatened ecosystem, with 35% of the worldโs #wetlands lost since 1970.
Protecting them can help with global challenges such as Climate Change, biodiversity loss and food and water security.

Wetlands may not be as glamorous as forests, but they fulfill a vital role in the health of our water and our climate โ and we need to protect them.๐ง๐๐
