Question 24 • IC Environmental Science - Deering
Answer:
Rainforest conservation uses several complementary approaches. Protected areas restrict logging and development in important habitats, while Indigenous land rights and community-led management help local people protect forests. Sustainable forestry, agroforestry, and certification encourage people and businesses to use forest resources without clearing the forest. Reforestation restores areas that have already been damaged. These approaches differ in whether they protect existing forest, make resource use more sustainable, or repair cleared land.
