Go through and highlight important information. This is when new trees are replanted to replace the ones that have been cut down. This means that there will still be trees in the future. It is important that the same types of trees are replanted to keep the different variety the same. A lot of TRF are found in LICs. Many LICs borrow money from richer countries and businesses to help development or help them cope with a natural disaster. The borrowed money has to be paid back with interest, so they allow the destruction of the rainforest to help earn money to pay back the debt. Debt has started to be cancelled under conservation swap. The money is written off if there is a guarantee that the money will be spent on conservation. In 2008 USA reduced Peru’s debt by $25million in exchange for rainforest conservation. Selective Logging where only some trees are cut down. These tend to be the older or inferior ones so it gives the younger trees a chance to grow. This is less damaging to the forest then felling the whole area. It also allows the forest to regenerate. To remove the fell trees the best ways are horse logging or helicopter logging. Both horses and helicopters drag the felled trees out instead of using trucks and roads. Education- educate the international community about the impacts of deforestation so they can buy from sustainable managed sources. Educating local people about the alternative ways to make money from the rainforest without destroying it. Conservation- many countries have set up national parks within the rainforest to protect the trees, though policing this is hard. HIC governments and businesses invest in rainforests to try to promote conservation. Norway have invested $1 billion into the Amazon Fund. International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO). First signed and set up in 1983 and signed in Geneva to produce sustainable forestry in the rainforests around the world. The Forest Stewardship Council is an organisation made up of businesses, NGOs such as Greenpeace and individuals from all over the world. They mark sustainable sourced timber with their logo so consumers can buy sustainable wood. Homework on TRF Go through and highlight important information. Produce a revision card on the outline.
