One major cause is cattle ranching — clearing forest to create pasture for beef production. Historically it has been the largest single driver of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (studies estimate roughly 60–80% of cleared area is linked to cattle pasture), driven by demand for beef, land speculation, and road/infrastructure expansion.
