Using rainforest sustainably

Description

Using rainforests sustainably involves managing forest resources to meet present needs without compromising their ecological integrity or the needs of future generations. This strategy prioritizes selective logging, agroforestry, non-timber forest product harvesting, and community-based management to prevent deforestation, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation. It aims to balance economic development with conservation, ensuring long-term livelihoods for local populations while maintaining vital ecosystem services and protecting endangered species.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
