About two thirds of the Amazon River basin lies within Brasil, in a region known as Amazonia. Over the past thirty years portions of Amazonia have been developed for small-hold farms, cattle ranching, and mining. Farming and ranching in Amazonia resulted in the widespread clearing of primary tropical forest. Recent estimates of deforestation by the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais based on satellite imagery reveal that about 8.5 percent of Amazonia's primary forest had been cleared by 1991.
