Answer:

Since 2012 deforestation has evolved in Brazil for multiple reasons. Three of the larger factors are 1. an increase in population 2. increase in investments 3. Land grabbing of public land.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the population increase, more roads are being built, the land is being cleared for homes, and this leads to forests being depleted for space to build and lumber to build with. Investments involve farmers planting more soy fields each year. They are taking the profits and buying cheaper land in northern Brazil. They clear forests on a large scale to build ranches.
