Economic growth and improving income distribution, for example, contribute to an increased demand for land and to the expansion of livestock production. Thus, in order to analyze the effects of economic growth and income distribution on natural resources, first it is necessary to distinguish the dynamics of the economic growth (whether slow or accelerated); and second, it is essential to know the form in which economic growth is taking place: whether through the extensive absorption of using factors of production; or whether through intense absorption with an increase in the productivity of the factors of production due to technical innovations; and third, the fact that the economy grows in a finite ecosystem implies an increase in opportunity costs. The effect of deforestation ultimately affects economic productivity and also provokes other ecological and socioeconomic disruptions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of deforestation on the natural resources of the area known as Legal Amazon, during the period 2000-2018. For this, statistical-econometric instruments from panel modeling have been used. The central conclusion is that the main regressors associated with the rate of deforestation in the surveyed states continue to be the significant causes of this problem throughout the region. Thus, it is assumed that deforestation in the Amazon is, in fact, the main factor responsible for the destruction of natural resources. However, it cannot be denied that extensive livestock production continues to be the main activity responsible for the significant increase in deforestation in the region. No Brasil, o desmatamento da floresta da Amazônia é o principal fator responsável pela destruição dos recursos naturais do meio ambiente. O crescimento econômico e a melhoria na distribuição de renda pessoal, por exemplo, contribuem para o aumento da demanda por terras e expansão da pecuária. Desta forma, para analisar os efeitos do crescimento econômico e da distribuição de renda sobre os recursos naturais, torna-se necessário distinguir, em primeiro lugar, a dinâmica do crescimento econômico (lento ou acelerado); em segundo, conhecer a forma como o crescimento econômico está se processando: se pela absorção extensiva do emprego de fatores de produção; ou se pela absorção intensiva com o aumento da produtividade dos fatores de produção devido inovações técnicas; e, em terceiro lugar, o fato da economia crescer em um ecossistema finito implica em aumento do custo de oportunidade.O efeito dos desmatamentos florestais acaba afetando a produtividade econômica e provoca outros transtornos de natureza ecológica e, também, socioeconômica. O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar o impacto do desmatamento florestal sobre os recursos naturais da Amazônia Legal no período de 2000-2018. Para isso, o instrumental estatístico-econométrico oriundo da modelagem em painel foi utilizado. A conclusão central é que os principais regressores associados com a taxa de desmatamento florestal nos estados pesquisados continuam sendo importantes condutores desta problemática na região. Com isso, admite-se que o desmatamento florestal na Amazônia é, de fato, o principal fator responsável pela destruição dos recursos naturais. Contudo, não se pode negar que exploração de pecuária de corte em regime extensivo continua sendo a atividade predominante responsável pelo aumento significativo do desmatamento na região. En Brasil, la deforestación de la selva amazónica es el principal factor responsable de la destrucción de los recursos naturales del medio ambiente. El crecimiento económico y la mejor distribución del ingreso personal, por ejemplo, contribuyen a una mayor demanda de tierra y a la expansión del ganado. Por lo tanto, para analizar los efectos del crecimiento económico y la distribución del ingreso en los recursos naturales, primero es necesario distinguir la dinámica del crecimiento económico (lento o acelerado); segundo, saber cómo se está produciendo el crecimiento económico: ya sea por la absorción extensiva del empleo de factores de producción; o si por la absorción intensiva con el aumento de la productividadde los factores de producción debido a innovaciones técnicas; y tercero, el hecho de que la economía crezca en un ecosistema finito implica mayores costos de oportunidad. El efecto de la deforestación afecta la productividad económica y causa otras perturbaciones ecológicas y socioeconómicas. El objetivo del presente trabajo, por lo tanto, es analizar el impacto de la deforestación forestal en los recursos naturales de la Amazonía Legal en el período 2000-2018. Para esto, se utilizaron los instrumentos estadístico-econométricos del modelo de panel. La conclusión es que los principales regresores asociados con la tasa de deforestación en los estados encuestados continúan siendo importantes impulsores de este problema en la región. Por lo tanto, se supone quela deforestación en la Amazonía es, de hecho, el principal factor responsable de la destrucción de los recursos naturales. Sin embargo, no se puede negar que la ganadería extensiva sigue siendo la actividad predominante responsable del aumento significativo de la deforestación en la región.
