CATTLE RANCHING

THE HISTORY...

• Cattle ranching in the Amazon began during 1990-2003.
• The cattle doubled from 26.6 million to 64 million.
• There was evidence confirming that cattle ranching is the #1 deforestation driver.

THE CONNECTION...

• The cattle ranching is because of Brazil's currency.
• Cattle ranching is popular because of low production costs.
• Cattle pasture in the Amazon is also a cheap and effective way to make investments.

HOW WE USE THE RESOURCES

• Trees- recycle and make into furniture and etc.
• Cattle- for beef
• Sheep- for meat and wool for clothing

HOW WE PRESERVE

• We leave the wildlife alone.
• Improvise with the space we herd our cattle.
• Recycle anything we used.
• We use products that are all natural.
• We try not to pollute the rainforest.

HOW WE HELP BRAZIL

• Animals- give to the people for food.
• Investors for the local markets around Brazil.
• Cattle ranching is a solid and stable investment.

HOW WE HELP GLOBALLY

• Utilize practices to make more beef with fewer natural resources.
• Adopt a "locovore" diet (only eat local foods) for the cattle we raise.
• Use compost and cow manure as fertilizers that are used on farms, golf courses, gardens, etc.
• Use manure for biofuels.

WHY WE ARE GOOD PEOPLE

• We don't cut down all the trees.
• We reuse the resources from the rainforest.
