A 2009 Greenpeace report found that the cattle sector in the Brazilian Amazon, supported by the international beef and leather trades, was responsible for about 80% of all deforestation in the region,[3] or about 14% of the world's total annual deforestation, making it the largest single driver of deforestation in the world.[4] According to a 2006 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 70% of formerly forested land in the Amazon, and 91% of land deforested since 1970, is used for livestock pasture.[5][19]

What are the far more easier things we can do to alleviate the problem then? If we all cut down on eating meat, less animals would be bred, more water would be available and less greenhouse gas would be emitted.
Beef is the worst of the offenders for gases, we could actually all help by eating more chickens in fact as it takes far less water to grow chickens than it does for cows to be reared.
