how can we save the rainforest?

1.Selective logging
The logging company should cut down trees selectively (only choose the useful hardwood). Logging should be banned in virgin forests where the trees are hundreds of years old.

2.Growing plants on abandoned land
Such process can help to restore soil nutrients and prevent the growth of weeds.In the long run, soil fertility will be kept at a level that trees can grow again

3.Afforestation
It meant a large scale replanting trees on the cleared land. The government can also assign some regions to grow certain fast-growing seedlings.

4. Developing nature reserves and national parks
The government should turn selected areas of the rainforests into nature reserves. Inside these reserves human intervention is kept to a minimum.

5.Setting up extractive reserves
For example, setting up reserves for natural rubber production for small scale rubber tappers living in the rainforests.

6.Development of native reserves and involvement of local community
The lands and rights of the natives in the forest should be protected. The government can work with the natives to help conserves the forest. For example, the natives are employed as tourist guides in the nature reserves or mangers in the forest rehabilitation centers.

7.Sustainable production of traditional forest products is allowed
There are many natural products that can be continually haversted from wild plants. Foe example, Brazil nuts provide food and oil. These products can be improved with better mangerment and marketing.

8.Ecotourism
Today many countries are promoting ecotourism as a means of earning money while also protecting the natural environment. Both nature reserves and protected areas are established in the forests. People cannot enter these areas without permission. Tourists are only allowed to enter the forests with guides. They learn to appreciate the natural beauty of the forests. The wildlife is disturbed as little as possible.
