How do you think the destruction of the Amazon Rain forest will affect the local economy?

Positive and Negatively

Explanation:

Positively

Although these effects are short term, this will give the locals more space to establish ranches and sell lumber for currency. This will help the local economy establish wealth.

Negatively

The long term effects are increased poverty, increase pollution and greenhouse gasses, and drought.

I can try to explain more if you want, but I have to do more research.

Hope this helps
