What are the three major causes of deforestation, and which is the most significant?

80% of all land is cleared for cattle grazing, which is the most important cause of deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest exporters of beef, and land is cleared for large commercial herds. Commercial and subsistence farming also cause deforestation. Soybeans, sugar, and palms all are grown commercially. Poor residents often practice slash-and-burn agriculture, which can be very damaging. Finally, deforestation occurs when trees are cut down for their wood, often illegally. Much of this wood, including mahogany, is very valuable.
