Rainforest deforestation is caused by several factors including logging, cattle ranching, and agriculture. Indigenous people have had their land stolen by companies and governments and receive nothing in return.

Due to poor soil and agriculture practices, the value of cash crops goes down after a few years causing the people to move again.
