Why the Amazon Rainforest are being cut and cleared?

Both 1 and 2

The correct answer is Option (3) -Both 1 and 2

The Amazon rainforest, often referred to as the "lungs of the planet" due to its vast size, harbors an estimated millions of species. However, this valuable ecosystem is under threat as it is being cleared and cut down for activities such as cultivating soybeans or converting to grasslands for cattle farming. This human-induced deforestation and habitat degradation pose significant risks to the survival of many species.

Additionally, pollution is contributing to the degradation of various habitats within the rainforest, further endangering the diverse flora and fauna that call it home.
