Deforestation in Latin America started off as a small problem,
but over time has become more and more of an issue. Deforestation began in
Latin America by limited landholders and colonists who set out to form a new
way of life. This, by doing so, initiated a cycle that in the long run has harmed
this realm. At the beginning of deforestation in this area, the new settlers
went through repeating stages to clear the space, and then were later forced,
due to soil fertility, to move on to new regions and start the process over on
the new found land.
