Answer 1

Answer:

placing severe restrictions on logging

Explanation:

One of the main issue facing the Amazon rainforest belt in Brazil is the issue of logging of wood from the forest.

• Logging has very serious impact on the forest health.
• When trees are removed, they expose the soil surface to serious erosional problems.
• They removed top soil makes the soil left behind bereft of necessary nutrients.
• The whole process eventually leads to the problem of deforestation.
