Right information
This entry reads "In 2012, the Amazon was approximately 5.4 million square kilometres, which is only 87% of the Amazon’s original state.[2]", but reference [2] is a review paper from 2008. Therefore it is impossible for it to have any information about deforestation numbers in 2012. Even more, a quick Internet search of this sentence reveals that the source might be "Earth Snapshot" [*] and that the year is in fact 2001.

The Causes > Hydroelectric section
Hi there, I made an account just for this. I found this questionable paragraph:

''There is one simple method though that could eliminate the formation of methane gas, produced by the rotting of trees (which occurs once the trees have been submerged by the water), and which could also reduce the formation of CO², captured/stored in the trees. This method would be the cutting of the trees before the dams are put into operation and the water level is heightened, and selling the wood (hereby using them as timber, for furniture, ...). This way, the CO² stored in the wood is also not emitted immediately, and even if the wood were to be used as firewood (in which case the CO² captured in the trees is indeed emitted), then still no methane would be produced/emitted.''

Is this relevant? I feel like it belongs to an article about logging methods or something. I'm going to take the liberty of removing it, feel free to fite me over it

The Causes > Cattle ranching and infrastructure
"Cattle emit large amounts of methane" - this is questionable statement. Citation needed. Sure methane is bad but it cattle emits it in negligible amount! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djzatorze (talk • contribs) 18:28, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

"Deforestation in Brazil 2002 to 2008" map in Rates section
Very unclear what this map is actually showing - I can only assume that the red markings are where deforestation has taken place, but there is no explanation of the map so not sure if this is a correct assumption. Reckon a layperson wouldn't be able to understand what this is trying to show; plus the stats would be so out of date at this point it feels irrelevant/unnecessary to have the map in. Maybe better to replace it with something more up-to-date with a better explanation?  OliverEastwood  talk  09:16, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
