Explanation:

Deforestation in Latin America is mainly caused by activities related to land - use change for agriculture (to grow crops or graze livestock), timber harvesting (for logging), and cattle ranching (to raise cattle). The automobile industry is not a major direct cause of deforestation in the region as it does not directly lead to large - scale clearing of forests for its primary operations.
