2. The Economy in Brazil can effect the Amazon because the many resources the Amazon produces. The Brazilian market economy exports many of the “brazil nut”. A market economy can affect my issue because the people decide what to sell. If they prefer grown things from the Amazon, they could cut down the Amazon. If they simply need to harvest farm land, they could also cut down trees. The lumber from the Amazon can be sold at a very high price which could benefit the economy. This can be horrible for the Amazon because construction workers bring big cranes and bulldozers and ruin life going on in the forest. Plus, it creates pollution. The exports from the Amazon: Brazil nuts Lumber from the Amazon trees Nut oil Cocoa Soy beans

3. The Population can affect the Amazon in many ways. The population of Brazil can push the Amazon’s borders, simply by creating new houses around the ends of the Amazon, and then if it isn’t enough space, the economy can cut down some of the Amazon and then put more houses for more people to live in. beneficial problematic? Is this beneficial or problematic? This is problematic because if the economy creates more houses for the population to live in, they will need to create more space to build the houses. The economy will need to cut down the Amazon and expand the structure of the town/city of the area.

4. The politics in Brazil are not very well respected. The population of Brazil has a Democratic Governmental System which could affect my issue because, in this case, the population of Brazil chooses the rules they may follow. As expected, the government decides what rules, statements and quotas may apply for curtain things. However, if the population chooses not to allow deforestation in Brazil, the economy must find better ways to take tradable goods out of the Amazon more safely. BUT, if the population does not vote this example as a permanent rule, this still allows deforestation to continue.

5. Push factors The floods in Brazil wash down the homes in Rio de Janeiro. The Economy will need to rebuild the destroyed homes and cities. In Favelhas, Rio de Janiero, these places have poor shacks made of small bricks and they cannot last through floods. It takes around 84.4 million to rebuild these houses and create stronger houses in result. And in some places in Brazil, the economy can’t make enough money to rebuild these poor structures, and that’s is why there are people who do not want to immigrate to Brazil In France, there are many reasons to immigrate there. The economy is high and they have very high prices which could be problematic. But the main reason is for its culture and food. Their culture and food relate to all Europeans food. Pull factors

6. Physical Barriers: The Amazon surrounds the country’s side and could affect immigration going on in Brazil. This forest covers 60% of the country Brazil. This can become a problem if people really want to get in Brazil. They could do deforestation. Economic Barriers: High taxes lack of infrastructure continue to prevent market entry which could lower economy going on in Brazil. Not having enough money to get out and in of brazil can affect the economy and then effect my issue because the economy can make off of the goods of the Amazon to export world wide. But first deforestation needs to take place.

7. Economically... The one main reason is that the money made off of the Amazon could make the economy rise. Agriculture is also problematic because in able to harvest the crops that grow in the Amazon, they need farmland. The Amazon could be cut down to make more space for agriculture. Socially... The disasters destroy the forest itself and that happens every day. Politically... The population doesn’t put deforestation as a permanent rule

8. The connection to the population and economic is that if there are more people in brazil, the economy would have to make more money than they should because they need to sustain the population by building new houses. If the economy cuts down the Amazon to build more money (since Brazil has low economic stats) they could make and build new houses. This could affect the Amazon by cutting and destroying all sorts of wild life habitats in the Amazon. Another connection is the political and population. This is a connection because the population of Brazil decides the rules they need to follow. Politically, their government is democratic and this means the people decide. They might choose if the deforestation should continue or not. However, Brazil’s inhabitants are not fond of paying attention to political statements so there would be not much of a difference coming from the population! However, the economy could find better ways instead of deforestation to extract resources in the Amazon. That would be beneficial!
