The pie chart shows the percentage of global deforestation caused by various activities ranging from infrastructure and mining to farming-related industries, with an additional category labeled as other. The pie graph demonstrates the proportion of worldwide deforestation influenced by 6 sources of global deforestation in 2006.
There were two largest dominant threats to global forests which are cattle ranches and small-scale subsistence agriculture. With the former accounting for more than half of the total and the latter was a second contributor to deforestation all over the world, it destroyed 33 percent of the total. The four remaining factors had a smaller impact on forested areas, accounting for 13% of the chart. The highest of the group is the other category, a contributor factor to 6% of the deforestation, doubling the figure for 3% of mining, road constructs, infrastructures, as well as logging. Surprisingly, large-scale agriculture has the lowest influence on nature by only 1% of the total compared to the 33% of small-scale agriculture.
