Sad But True...Rain Forest Land is Cleared to Provide Grazing Land for Cows

Rain forest land is often cleared to provide grazing lands for cows. The meat from the cows is exported to make things like hamburgers.

After some time, the grazing lands become barren and ranchers move their cows onto new lands which causes further rainforest deforestation. This cycle is very destructive as the ranches move further and further into the rainforests, often disturbing rainforest communities and causing many plants and animals to become endangered and risking extinction (which is forever).
