Conservation in Brazil
Among the world's largest economies, Brazil is one of countries in which original forests (and forested area in general) are the most preserved, and is the only country in which private landowners must maintain some of the native flora untouched.[160] However, environmentalists note that the natural heritage of Brazil is threatened by cattle ranching and agriculture, logging, mining, resettlement, oil and gas extraction, over-fishing, wildlife trade, dams and infrastructure, water contamination, climate change, fire, and invasive species.[156] In many areas of the country, the natural environment is threatened by development.[161] Construction of highways has opened up previously remote areas for agriculture and settlement; dams have flooded valleys and inundated wildlife habitats; and mines have scarred and polluted the landscape.[159][162] At least 70 dams are said to be planned for the Amazon region, including controversial Belo Monte hydroelectric dam.[163]
