MARANHAO STATE, BRAZIL - NOVEMBER 21: A woman pulls a fish fro her net while fishing with traditional Afro-Brazilian methods practiced for centuries in a wetland area of a deforested section of the Amazon basin on November 21, 2014 in Maranhao state, Brazil. Many Amazon wetlands are disappearing due to cattle ranching which plays a significant role in Amazon deforestation. The non-governmental group Imazon recently warned that deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon skyrocketed 450 percent in October of this year compared with the same month last year. The United Nations climate change conference begins December 1 in neighboring Peru. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
