Brazilians have settled large portions of the Amazon, clearing the land for lumbering, grazing, and agriculture. Between 1970 and 2016, Brazilian Amazon forest cover declined from some 1,583,000 square miles to about 1,283,000 square miles. However, conservation slowed forest loss to roughly 0.1–0.2 percent per year between 2008 and 2016.
