Why We Want The Rain Forest Land
The Cattle Ranchers
When We Came
We came to the rain forest in the 1960s. Cattle mainly graze on grasses so all we need for them is good grass, that they can eat all the way to the dirt. Later when the area has been eaten up we move the cattle to s fresh place to graze. Although it takes up a lot of land by moving the cattle we allow new grass to grow. We also mostly use the land that is already cleared.

Why We Are Needed
We are needed because we help to feed many people. We are also helping Brazil make money. In 2008 we exported more then $3 billion in beef to other countries. Brazil can now use the money from our beef to help the debts go down and to take care of the people living there.
Why We Want The Land
So why we want the rain forest land is for our country to make money and to feed people. We don't really do much harm because we use lots of land that has already been cleared. Plus we allow the grass to come back and then we graze on it again. So we think that we should have the forest land for our cattle.
