  1. we must look for ways to improve economic situations on the edges of Nature .

    the only way to preserve the forrest is to devellop eco tourism under strict control that has limited acces ,and use the local people in the concept as guides ,hotel staff and get them to start home industries of artifacts .

    eco tourism is the only concept that profits by a healthy back ground with out harming it

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

    trees are coming down all the time ,

    in My town trucks loaded with huge logs of exotic timber leave the mountains with permits bought from corrupt oficials almost nightly

    we can only guess at the exact amount but from my house we can see many bare patches on the mountains and the river is constantly muddy in the last 3 years ,because topsoils, without the protection of the forrests , is washed into the rivers ,

    this is just one place and this is happening all over Mexico ,the Market for the wood being the USA.

    here is a general note on deforestation

    CAN DEFORESTATION BE STOPPED

    Almost impossible

    the Indians or local people would cut everything down and burn the forrest to replace it with harmfull short term farming killing the soil in no time

    expanding populations and 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 Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection 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 jungle 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

    they are too easily tempted to sell of exotic animals to the unscroupelous people who buy them.for the market that exists in the USA.

    REFORRESTATION

    we must reforrest and at the same time reduce our carbon emissions.

    most governments are aware of these and many first world countries now include programs to reduce their carbon emissions.

    the world bank pays large subsidies for farmers to plant trees especially a tree called Paulownia elongate carolinia,because it is one of the better ones that capture carbon.

    IN THE PAST

    the sahara used to be forrests

    arabia ,irak ,iran used to be fertile lands in biblical times

    Ghengas Kahn burned all the forrests here and filled the well with water and so turning vast lands into dessert.

    the Spanish Armada deforested Spain

    .the Phoenician fleet deforested Lebanon

    Madagascar a botanic paradise is now destroyed

    the exotic animals sold or killed ,the forest slash and burned for agriculture ,the coastal water poluted by topsoils washed fronm the denuded moutains by the rains.

    many many countries in Africa (because of poverty and war as well as greedy farming )

    Borneo because of the expensive timber

    india ,China ,Mexico ,South Americas Amazonia,

    Europe because of civilization,USA,Japan because of overpopulation,

    NOTE

    1000 trees that are replanted do not come anywhere near as producing the same effect or fullfilling the same function ,as far as carbon absorbtion ,production of humidity,climatic effects as the absorbtion or release of heat ,as ONE SINGLE FULLY GROWN TREE.

    people keep saying we are good we cut down a thousand trees and replanted 20 thousand more

    This means nothing in terms of environmental effects.

    it takes at least 10 to 20 years before one of these replanted trees makes the same impact as the ones that are removed


  2. One of the best ways it to only buy lumber labeled with the FSC mark. That is a label that lumber sellers are allowed to use only if their harvesting and forest management practices meet strict sustainability guidelines established by the Forest Stewardship Council. Lumber with that mark sells for a little more and that is good for responsible loggers because they also get paid more for using sustainable practices.
