Is the following answer a good example of a R.A.C.E. response in science?

The population increase in Brazil impacted the Amazon Rainforest by decreasing the number of trees available. Based on the graph “Population of Brazil by census year,” it shows that the population increased from 1872 to 2016. In the pictures provided, it shows the amount of trees in the rainforest decreasing from 1986 to 2001. This means that the increase in population caused a decrease in the number of trees in the Amazon rainforest. This proves that, when a population increases, more resources are usually consumed, in this case for housing or burned to create energy.
