Most people around the world say that deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is a serious problem. People are more concerned about this than other challenges such as shortages of fresh water, lack of access to healthcare, and unemployment.
Concern is especially high in Latin America – specifically in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. Europeans also express relatively strong concern. People farther from the Amazon region express comparatively less concern, but a wide majority around the world still say this is a serious problem.
This suggests a strong desire from the general public for action to protect the Amazon rainforest.
