Farmer, Small Plowing Machine, and the Rest of the Rainforest

Photographer’s remarks

Competitive global economy forces developing tropical countries to raise the level of state social welfare, globalization is one of the causes of deforestation. The majority of rain forest that is cut down is cleared for agricultural use. Different causes, different types of cutting and different uses of the land have very different effects on the ground and the surviving organisms. The world requires the existence of forests, yet locals want to increase their standard of living.
