What in your opinion is solution to the problem with cutting down the rain forest?!?!?

Question

i have to do this thing for geography and i need to find a solution that is plausible. i need to know so please answer fast!

Answer 1

I am against it and to solve that problem we should plant more trees.we should find alternatives to trees like makeing machines that can purerify the air quickly and can be mass produced and we should find materials that can be good alternativer to wood because it is now a basic need for cunstruction and fire.we have to do it fast because they are been cutted down fast.I HOPE I WAS HELP FULL

Answer 2

well everytime a tree is cut down, plant one in its place.

you could also start a petition and send it to someone asking them to send it to someone else and they would send it to someone else and so on and so on.

=)

Answer 3

instead of using it all up save it, and make things from recycled materials for example,,have free collections of the old wooden furniture and reuse is,instead of people burning it or disposing of it in a useless way.

Answer 4

Criminal convictions and mandatory sentencing for those who do it.  I'm talking jail time.

Answer 5

CAN DEFORESTATION BE STOPPED????

Almost impossible

SLASH AND BURN

the Indians or local people would cut everything down and burn the Forrest to replace it with harm full short term farming, killing the soil in no time .

Expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's

clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

That and the giant networks of roads that have exchanged forests for asphalt all over the planet

------------------------------...

In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years

the Naturalists ,and the government ,keep watch. .laws are made for protecting the wild and to forbid logging.

TV put out a series of documentaries

there are campaigns in the News papers

and all of this has not made the slightest difference

------------------------------...

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

the jungles gets smaller by the day

more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees

it is an impossible situation

as long as there is poverty and an increasing birth rate in these regions the destruction will continue

Locals are too easily tempted to sell of exotic animals to the unscrupulous people who buy them.for the market that exists in the first world countries.

We must look for ways to improve economic situations for the local people who threaten the forest's´s,

But what can we do about those who come from far away to exploit these resources????????

One of the few ways to preserve the Forrest is to develop Eco tourism under strict control that has limited access ,and use the local people in the concept as guides ,hotel staff and get them to start home industries of artifacts .

Or agro forestal =farming which includes trees ,either wild life or/and crops such as coffee

(the last part of my answer here mentions wild life breeding..)http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Eco tourism is one of the only concepts that profits by a healthy back ground with out harming it ,and so ensures the Forrest's safety

But now the quest for Ethanol looms on the horizon killing almost all hopes of saving the Forrest's

PERMACULTURE

Permaculture is a way of living hand in hand with the Environment ,on the edge of Nature

Its a sustainable way of human existence that needs far less of the Natural resources or incorporates it as part of the concept .

Farming Natural animals or plant in conjunction with trees.

Building soil instead of depleting it

Harvesting water instead of diminishing it

And not contaminating anything

This is definitely the best philosophy to project ,

Instead of the harmful mono culture farming of today

Ancient civilizations were far more advanced about the concept of sustainability,and some of their isolated descendants still practice remnants of that today.

Generally speaking the so called educated farmers tend to be the most harmful and unfortunately this negative education has spread wiping out the sense of the past

We must try to preserve this knowledge ,

which is what Permaculture is all about

THE ONLY WAY i CAN THINK OF TO PRESERVE FORESTS IN RICH COUNTRIES IS BY EDUCATION STARTING IN KINDER GARDEN

To try and create love and respect as well as to demonstrate the necessity of these resources

And to turn the woods into utility parks .with animals

This is already happening in rich countries ,but all places are different depending on their sizes, climates and what kind of Nature they have left.

In the Netherlands the deer walk amongst the people on ¨de Veluwe¨the country is no bigger than Mexico city so they don't have a choice.

In Rustlers Valley in Africa the bless buck lie on the lawn ,and in Jasper the caribou walk around town,

Bill Mollison was asked this question about what to do with Nature and he said it is best left alone,

It is why i keep saying ¨we should be on the edge of Nature ,not on top of it.

How ever the biggest enemy is Attitudes,Modern materialistic society ,largely prompted by their religions,which have alienated them from their Environment.

,egoistically have come to regard Humanity far more important than Nature,thinking Nature must give way to progress ,failing to realize that both have to be interrelated.

And that destruction cannot be regarded as progress

Answer 6

Cutting down rain forests is a problem?

Rain forests are a menace. Stealing all of our rain, our sunlight, our soil, and our women.

Save the rainforest? I say pave the rainforest.

Answer 7

lol

loser

Answer 8

plant more rainforests

Answer 9

uhhhh stop doing it?  Maybe increase farm raised trees to satisfy the demand..

Answer 10

The rain forest are fine. When I worked in the Amazon basin it cost us a million dollars per month just to keep the roads open. When I left the jungle was still willing.

Answer 11

Consuming more locally grown foods.

Producing more timber in plantations in the US which would reduce dependence on the rain forest.

Dealing with poverty issues in those countries as well as subsitance farming.

Answer 12

(1)The solution is in strict compliance and  enforcement of forests laws; substituting wood with other cheap materials, enhancing productivity levels per hectares of land under cultivation of all kinds including horticulture, floriculture etc.

(2) Modifying and enforcing better landuse etc.

thnks

Answer 13

The ideal answer is simple, provide more economic opportunities for those people in that part of the world.  There are two main reasons for cutting down the rainforest...lumber and farming.  People like to complain about the US using up natural resources, but we have more lands set aside for preservation than any other nation because of the diversity of economic opportunities here.  If the governments of those countries spent more time trying to gain responsible multi-national corporate investment it would provide job alternatives for the poor, create a greater tax base for the local governments and in turn allow the local governments a better opportunity to manage their natural resources.  The problem in reality is that the local governments tend to be corrupt, western societies complain that their jobs are being shipped overseas and some people in those regions will find it far simpler to continue to cut down the rainforest for their personal survival.

Answer 14

we should stop destroying the ran forest. we are killing many animals because we are destroying their natural habitats. we need to stop destroying our planet. stop polluting stop all of this c**p! we should stop cutting all of the trees down and plant more. we should start to restore our planet to the world it once was before man started using all of the natural resources.
