The composition and appearance of the humid tropical forest of the Amazon amaze with the abundance of plant life forms, the exceptional richness of the species composition, and the density and complexity of the canopy. This richest plant mass on Earth possesses, especially in the west of the Amazon, innumerable resources of food, technical and medicinal raw materials, building, and ornamental materials. The Amazon basin plays an important role in global metabolism, accounting for about 10% of the primary biological production of the Earth. The species composition and appearance of forests vary depending on the situation concerning the rivers. Periodic spills of the Amazon and its tributaries greatly affect vegetation. The main causes of the deforestation process in Amazon forests are political discourse, poverty, and globalization. Brazilian Influence The states, within which Amazonia enters, primarily Brazil, began to develop forest areas. To this end, Trans-Amazonian highways and other roads were laid, including a railway through East Amazon, along which there is a clearing of forests for arable land and pastures, exploration and extraction of minerals, construction of settlements, and industrial enterprises (Schmidt & McDermott, 2015). A gradual settlement of vast areas of South American people began. Since the early 1960s, the population within the Brazilian Amazon increased by ten times, and by 2002 reached 20 million people (Barbanti, 2015). As a rule, the settlement is accompanied by uncontrolled deforestation, as well as the destruction of unique species of flora and fauna. A sharp reduction in the forest area of ​​the Amazon is also evidenced by observational data from space. Since 2000, a large-scale economic development plan has been implemented in Amazonia, called the “Advance Brazil,” which provides for the construction of new roads and railways, gas pipelines, power plants, power lines, and other infrastructure elements (Meijer, 2015). As a result of the implementation of this project according to the plan within the Brazilian Amazon, by the middle of the XXI century, up to 40% of forests can be destroyed (Meijer, 2015). Thus, Brazil plays a major role in both advancing and stopping the deforestation process. Globalization The problem of forest death, as well as environmental issues in general, is closely related to the global political issues of modern globalization. This relationship is two-way: along with the undoubted influence of the ecological situation on political decisions, in general, on politics, there is also the inverse effect of the political situation in the world on the environment in certain regions of the world. As for the forests of the planet, in most cases, they will not be eliminated on a whim, but to survive, not to die of hunger. The world is divided into developed countries of the West, where less than 1 billion people or the golden billion and all the rest, the developing countries of the third world, the refuge of the rest, more than 5 billion people live in conditions of economic prosperity (Coe et al., 2017). Approximately 1.3 billion people in these countries live in poverty, and 840 million people, including 240 million children, are starving or suffering from malnutrition (Boucher & Chi, 2018). Composing approximately 20% of the world’s population, the golden billion controls about 85% of the resources (Barbanti, 2015). Therefore, the g
