Sustainable rainforest management
I can explain how local and global actions can help manage rainforests in a sustainable way.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Sustainable management means using resources in a way that allows future generations to use them in the same way too.
- Local actions, such as alternative livelihoods, enable tropical rainforests to be sustainably managed.
- Global actions can contribute to sustainable management of tropical rainforests.
Keywords
Sustainable - using resources in a way that means future generations will still be able to use them in the same way
Biodiversity - a measure of how many different species live in an ecosystem
Conservation - protection and management of natural resources to prevent damage and maintain biodiversity
Common misconception
Only large global organisations, like the United Nations or Greenpeace, are responsible for protecting rainforests, and that local communities have little impact on sustainability efforts.
Both global and local actions are vital for rainforest sustainability. While global efforts fund and advocate, local communities protect forests through reforestation, sustainable farming, and ecotourism.
