1. Explain why it is important to prevent deforestation of the rain forest and what steps the Brazilian government has taken to try deal with the problem.
2. Explain how Brazilian agriculture can be productive and highly profitable, yet many farmers live in poverty.
Explanation:
Over the past nine years, the rate of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has dropped by 70 percent. This success has been achieved despite high beef and soy prices, which in previous years had pushed deforestation upward, and during a time that Brazil had rapid economic growth and made important progress in reducing poverty, hunger, and inequality. Brazil’s reduction in emissions from deforestation is the largest contribution so far by any country—rich or poor—to reducing global warming pollution.
The factors responsible for this accomplishment include government policies and enforcement actions by prosecutors, on both the federal and state levels; incentives created by Norway’s pledge of up to $1 billion in results-based compensation; the concerted pressure exerted by non-government organizations (NGOs) on the government and the soy and beef industries; and the positive response by those industries, resulting in the 2006 soy and 2009 beef moratoria. Political leaders, such as President Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, Minister of the Environment/2010 Green Party presidential candidate Marina Silva, the independent public prosecutors, and several state governors can also claim an important share of the credit. Ultimately, however, it was the change in the political dynamic of the deforestation issue due to years of effort by Brazilian civil society that made these actions and this success possible.
Key Concepts
Deforestation appeared to be an intractable problem for many years, with little progress in reducing it, despite many government and NGO projects and widespread global concern.
Brazil’s success has now shown that a large, rapid reduction in deforestation is possible. It has cut deforestation in the Amazon by 70 percent, compared to the average level in 1996-2005, making zero deforestation by 2020—or even sooner—a feasible goal.
Many actors deserve credit for the accomplishment. They include Presidents Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff, Environment Minister/Green Party candidate Marina Silva, state governors, independent public prosecutors, NGOs, the voluntary moratoria by the soybean and beef industries, and the results-based financing provided by Norway.
The overwhelming role of soy and beef as causes of Amazon deforestation means that successful civil society pressure on these industries’ supply chains could lead to rapid reductions in deforestation.
Brazilian civil society, including indigenous groups, rubber tappers, labor unions, and environmentalists, were able to change the political dynamics and framing of the deforestation issue. They forced governments and businesses to act and thus made the success possible.

(a) Where in Asia did Hinduism spread from India.
(b) Why was has Hinduism remained centered in India?
Part A:

India remains the spiritual and cultural center of Hinduism because it has the largest population and concentration of Hindus and so many sacred sites, like the Ganges.
Answer:
a)Religious and social practices associated with Hinduism spread into Nepal and Sri Lanka, where they blended with local religious and social systems. They also spread into Southeast Asia, carried across the Indian Ocean by merchants and sailors on ships.
b) One of the major reasons because of which Hinduism did not spread to countries outside the Indian subcontinent is the lack of effective translation of the Vedas, Upanishads, etc to languages outside India and a great dependence on Sanskrit during the revival after 10th Century AD.

How are the different regions interdependent on each other?
Answer:
Regions – Different regions in a country depend on each other for resources.
Explanation:
For example, one area can have fields that can be planted and harvest for food, and the other region would buy the food from the first region. Nations – Different nations depend on each other for resources that are not available in that nation.
Different regions of the world are interdependent on each other to get those resources that are not available in their own countries.
What is available in region A may not be available in region B Therefore region B has to depend on A for those resources that they lack.
For example, Region A may have crude oil and region B does not. So region B has to carry out trades with A in order to get have products from crude oil.
In conclusion regions are interdependent on each other to get the needed resources that they lack which the other region has in abundance.
