The majority of the Amazon rainforest, about 60%, is in Brazil, the largest country in Latin America. For that reason, Brazil has been at the center of the deforestation issue. Reports from Brazil indicated more forest was lost in the first four months of 2022 than ever before. Not coincidentally, Brazil is also the world’s largest beef producer and exporter.
