Wildlife & 
Ecosystems 
threatened by the 
irresponsible 
expansion of soy

South America’s Atlantic Forest: As of 2000, less than 8% of the total original area of this
region remained
© Juan Pratginestos / WWF-Canon
The golden lion tamarin, found in patches of the Atlantic Forest, is an endangered
species with an estimated wild population of only approximately 1,500 individuals
© Martin Harvey / WWF-Canon
The white-tufted-ear marmoset lives in wooded savannah and on the edge of remnants
of the Atlantic Forest

The threatened red brocket, seen here in the Atlantic Forest

Chaco: The Río de Oro (Gold River) in Argentina cuts through the largest dry forest in
South America and is the continent’s most extensive forested region after the Amazon
© Michel Gunther / WWF-Canon
The jaguar, also found in the Gran Chaco, is the largest cat in the western hemisphere, the
top predator in lowland ecosystems, and an important figure in many indigenous cultures
© Nigel Dickinson / WWF-Canon
Amazon: About 1/2 of the planet's remaining tropical rainforests are found in this
ecoregion
© André Bärtschi / WWF-Canon

are found in the Amazon.

Brazil’s Cerrado: a vast savannah the size of Mexico, brimming with natural life
© Martin Harvey / WWF-Canon

The maned wolf, one of the Cerrado’s emblematic species
© Hartmut Jungius / WWF-Canon
Listed as “vulnerable to extinction” on the IUCN Red List, the giant anteater is already
considered extinct in some parts of Brazil
© WWF

44% of the Cerrado’s plant species exist nowhere else on Earth
© Juan Pratginestos / WWF-Canon
Around 300 of the Cerrado’s native plant species are used as food, medicine,
handicrafts or for trade
© Michel Gunther / WWF-Canon
60 vulnerable animal species – 20 endangered and 12 critically endangered – struggle
for survival in the Cerrado
© Zig Koch / WWF

A road separates the Cerrado’s native savannah with a cleared area destined for a
soybean plantation. Half of the Cerrado has been lost to agriculture as of 2012.
© Adriano Gambarini / WWF-Brazil
The Cerrado is disappearing faster than the Amazon rainforest, mainly as a result of
commercial agriculture – especially vast fields of soy

In addition to causing negative environmental impacts, the expansion of soybean
agriculture also often displaces small-scale farmers
© James W. Thorsell / WWF-Canon
The application of pesticides for soy cultivation is not without risk—agrochemicals could
contaminate soil, and surface and underground water sources
Wirralwater / Creative Commons
Soy is exported from South America and elsewhere to meet a growing demand for feed,
especially for chickens and pigs
© Steve Morgan / WWF-UK
On average, each European consumer eats 87 kg of meat and 250 eggs per year. To
produce this, 400 square metres of land per person is needed.
jamesdkirk / Creative Commons
This is how our eating habits indirectly contribute to negative environmental and social impacts,
including deforestation and biodiversity loss, in South America and other soy producing countries
