Stakeholders of the rainforests By: Ming Chun

Who they are and how they uses it Tribes-They use it for home and shelter Eco-tour Operators-they use the rainforest as a tool for education and for them to show people the beauty of the rainforest Factories- They use the rainforest as a source of income Animals-They use the rainforest as a home and for protection Scientists- They use the rainforest as a way of discovering things (like new plants for medication) that can benefit others Government-They try to protect the rainforest and stop things that help destroy it Conservationists-They use the rainforest as a tool for education and they try to protect it

Their job and what they do Tribes- They help spread around the seeds of eaten fruit They eat the fruit then let the animals carry around the seeds, planting more of that species Eco-Tour Operators- They tell people how the rainforest is being threatened and what they can do to help stop this They take tour groups around and show them the rainforest and how wonderful it is so they can appreciate it

Their job and what they do (cont.) Factories- Cut down trees for plantations Animals- Spread around seeds and “plants” them Make trees and plants grow as well as fruits that tribes in the rainforest can live off Scientists- To go into the rainforests and try to find good uses for new plant specimens They find new plant species then use them in experiments to see if they can be used for medicine or something like that

Their job and what they do (cont.) Government- Help with world environmental issues Ask countries to sign agreements that say that their particular country will stop cutting down that much trees Conservationists- They try extremely hard to make people stop mining, logging , etc. in the rainforests They do protest and start organisations that help save the rainforest and the environment like Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund

What are their rights and responsibilities?

Tribes Rights To not have their home cut down To be able to find food fairly easily To have water To feel protected in their home To have clothes Responsibilities To help distribute plants and seeds so that species can keep growing To only take what they need and nothing more

Eco-tour operators Rights Educate people Fine people if they pollute(Example: Litter) the rainforest. Show tourists the rainforest and let them appreciate it Responsibilities Educate people Be role models by not polluting the rainforest Respect laws that try to protect the rainforest

Factories Rights Make money Be able to support themselves and their families Responsibilities Burn trees in designated areas (not illegal places) Burn trees sustainably

Animals Rights To feel protected in their home To always have food To have shelter in their home To not lose their habitats Responsibilities To keep spreading around seeds for food purposes To protect the forest from other threats

Scientists Rights To be able to explore the rainforest (with conditions) To be allowed to observe different species but make NO contact To be granted permission to explore different parts of the rainforest in order to look for new plant species Responsibilities To not move/change around any areas of the rainforest e.g. plant fruit where animals are trying to sleep Not to disturb the wildlife inside the rainforests To respect how the rainforest and to not do anything to pollute it

World governments Rights To be allowed to request countries to reduce greenhouse gases To be allowed to try and pay countries to protect their rainforests To put in the Kyoto (international agreement against greenhouse emissions) into place Responsibilities To reduce greenhouse gases and the burning of fossil fuels in other countries To protect the rainforests and what’s left of them

Conservationists Rights To be able to at least try to protect the rainforests To be able to protest against non-environmental projects (things that hurt the environment and it’s rainforests) and not get in trouble for it Responsibilities To be able to protect the rainforest and everything in it To not stand by and watch the environment along with it’s rainforests be destroyed

What are the effects if their rights and responsibilities are not fulfilled

What happens if their rights aren’t met? Tribes What happens if their rights aren’t met? The tribe will die out People will forget about them What happens if the stakeholder does not fulfill their responsibilities? The rainforest and the species within it will diminish faster than before because seeds of plants aren’t being distributed

What happens if their rights aren’t met? Eco-tour operators What happens if their rights aren’t met? People will forget how they should treat/behave in the rainforest People will forget how important rainforests are What happens if the stakeholder does not fulfill their responsibilities? Rainforests will be in even worse conditions Different species will perish faster

What happens if their rights aren’t met? Factories What happens if their rights aren’t met? They can’t help/support themselves or their families What happens if the stakeholder does not fulfill their responsibilities? There would be unemployment

What happens if their rights aren’t met? Animals What happens if their rights aren’t met? Animals could become more aggressive because of the stress from everything happening around them What happens if the stakeholder does not fulfill their responsibilities? More animal species will die out More plant/fruit species will die out

What happens if their rights aren’t met? Scientists What happens if their rights aren’t met? Cures for diseases that could’ve been found would’ve disappeared because scientists couldn’t explore and look for them What happens if the stakeholder does not fulfill their responsibilities? Animals could start acting up because scientists have made with the animals and they’ve reacted badly Cures that can solve current illness would be extinct

What happens if their rights aren’t met? World governments What happens if their rights aren’t met? Rainforests will have even MORE threats working against the existence of them! What happens if the stakeholder does not fulfill their responsibilities? Rainforests won’t be protected at ALL anymore!

What happens if their rights aren’t met? Conservationists What happens if their rights aren’t met? No one will be there to help the rainforests exist What happens if the stakeholder does not fulfill their responsibilities? Rainforests simply WON’T exist anymore
