Subsistence Cultivators
 * Between May 2000 and August 2006 Brazil lost nearly 150,000 square kilometers of forests(that's an area larger than greece) by subsistence cultivators.
 * Subsistence cultivators are people who cut and burn down areas of forests to build houses and plant crops.These people cut and burn down areas of forests in different places, then they come back.

Climate Change
 * Plants obsorb carbon dioxibe, and use it to grow, but when they burn the carbon dioxide is released again
 * Plants also produce methane that is a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.
