Poor public services, including education and health care, discourage people from living in an area, leading to a low population density. Civil war and persecution can lead to a low population density as people move to escape violence. Governmental corruption can also lead to a low population density.

Answer:

Answer in below

Step-by-step explanation:

Amazon basin is sparsely populated because it's dense rain forest. Rain forests aren't a very friendly environment for human habitation, i.e. lack of fresh water, dangerous animals, lack of solid ground, lack of dry shelter, skeeters, dense trees, limited fuel and food sources, and difficult transportation.
