Sustainable
Management
in Tropical
Rainforests
- SELECTIVE LOGGING
- Only some trees are felled- most trees
are left standing. This is less damaging to
the forest as if only a few trees are
taken the overall forest structure is kept-
the canopys still thee and soil isnt
exposed so forest can regenerate
- Least damaging forms are
'horse logging and 'helicopter
logging'- dragging felled trees
out of forest with
horses/helicopters instead of
huge trucks

- REPLANTING
- New trees are planted
to replace cut down
ones
- meaning trees for people
to use in future
- Important the same types of tree that
was cut is planted to keep variety

- EDUCATION
- Some people aren't
aware of environmental
impacts of deforesation
- Local people try to make
money the short term (e.g
illegal logging)
- Educating them about

- tropical hardwood trees are becoming rarer-
some richer countries are trying to reduce
demand

- PROTECTION
- Environmental laws can be used to protect
rainforests:
- Laws that ban illegal logging
- Laws that ban logging of some tree
species e.g mahogany
- Laws that ban logging of some tree
species e.g mahogany
- Laws that ban illegal logging
- Many countries have set up
national parks and nature reserves
within rainforests. In these areas
damaging activites e,g logging are
restricted.
- Environmental laws can be used to protect
rainforests:
- REDUCING DEBT
- Poorer countries often borrow money from richer
countries or organistations to fund development
schemes or cope with emergencies like floods- this
money has to be paid back
- These countries often lalow
logging/farming/mining in
raindorests to make money to pay
back the debt
- By reducing the debt would mean
they wouldn't have to do this and
the rainforests would be
conserved
