What is impacts on people?Show answer
The impacts on people are mixed. In the short term, clearing generates income, jobs and food through ranching, farming and timber. But it can displace Indigenous communities such as the Amazon's forest peoples, whose land and culture depend on the forest. Loss of rainfall and soil fertility can undermine the very agriculture that drove the clearing, harming long-term livelihoods.
