Climate - The People
People cause the most pollution in the Amazon. They account for most of the pollution via industrial means. Recent industrial expansion into the Amazon has caused vital destruction of the plants, animals, and environment. Corporations have setup ranching facilities where once forests grew. In order to get rid of trees, slash and burn techniques had to been used. Corporations have also setup textile mills, mines, and factories which contribute to the environment destruction by leaking hazardous materials into the rivers, tributaries, and make-shift landfills.

The indigenous people of the Amazon is also the victims. There homes are being invaded and their lives are being destroyed due to factory emmisions and other pollutants. The pollutants are hazardous to their health and destructive to their minds for many of these pollutants can be carcinogenic and mentally harming.
