| Cattle ranching is responsible for the great majority of deforestation in the Amazon, a vital carbon sink that scientists say must be preserved to avert catastrophic warming.

The destruction lies at the base of a supply chain that directly connects cattle ranches accused of environmental crimes to factories authorized by the U.S. government to export beef to the United States. |
