How can we manage the rainforest sustainable
List them
Selective logging
Replanting afforestation
Ecotourism
Education
Reducing debt
Selective logging
This is when only certain trees, usually the oldest or most valuable, are cut down instead of clearing large areas.
How dose selective logging help mange the rainforest
This method protects the forest structure, meaning that habitats are preserved and biodiversity is maintained.
ecosystem balanced is important because many species rely on each other in food chains—for example, animals help spread seeds which allows the forest to regenerate naturally.
Reducing the dept
because it gives poorer countries more financial freedom to protect their forests.
Which country is In Dept and feel pressure to cut down trees for money through farming
Brazil and more
Reducing dept help mange rainforest sustainably
If richer countries or organisations cancel some of this debt, it reduces the need to destroy the rainforest for short-term income.
What can countries do instead of worrying about money
This allows countries to invest in sustainable industries like ecotourism or conservation, helping to protect the rainforest and its resources for future generations.
Education
because it raises awareness about the importance of conservation.
Example of education of the rainforest
When local people, especially farmers and loggers, are taught about the long-term value of the rainforest, they are more likely to use it responsibly.
For example of education
they can learn about sustainable farming methods like agroforestry or how to earn money through ecotourism instead of deforestation.
This will lead on to (education)
better protection of biodiversity and natural resources, helping to ensure the rainforest can provide benefits for future generations.
Ecotourism
because it provides income without damaging the environment.
Ecotourism
Instead of cutting down trees for money, local communities can earn from tourists who visit to see the rainforest’s wildlife and natural beauty.
Ecotourism lead on to
This encourages the protection of the forest, as healthy ecosystems attract more tourists and create jobs in guiding, accommodation, and transport.
A result in ecotourism
As a result, the rainforest is preserved while still providing economic benefits, making it a sustainable way to support both people and nature.
What causes deforestation
Logging
Mineral extraction
Commercial farming
Logging
Cutting row and removing trees for the pour pose of make something out of wood
Mineral extraction
Mining for resources under ground
Mineral extraction (mining for resources under the earth) how can we reduce it
Recycling Materials:
Reusing metals (like aluminium, gold, and copper) reduces the need to dig new ones from the ground.
Encouraging recycling of electronics (phones, laptops) is key.
Commercial farming
Large scale farming with the purpose of selling what is grown
How can we reduce commercial farming
Education and Support for Local Farmers:
Teach farmers about the long-term damage of rainforest clearance.
• Provide support and funding for eco-friendly farming techniques that increase yield without clearing more land.
Impact of deforestation
The Buenaventuramining company in Peru employs 31000 people
Economic positive
Impact of deforestation environment negative
Brazil losing 55 million tones of topsoil every year because of soil erosion caused by soy farming
Economic positive
Logging contributes a huge amount to Brazil economy
