any things we do now, and plans for the future!
the forest is getting cut down at this very moment!
ANSWER: Do you want to know things we can do or things we are doing?? What “we” are doing is promoting certified timber from sustainable forest management. Giving aid to countries bordering the Amazon to reduce the amount of clearing they need to do for financial gain. Some ex situ conservation is occuring. There are numerous conservation groups operating within the Amazon, conserving animals, wildlife and culture - my friends have travelled there and participated in such groups. Then there are protests. What we could do further is come up ecologically sustainable forest management in the Amazon (make it economically viable for these countries to keep and conserve forests). The Brazlian government has previously asked for the World Bank and foreign countries to cancel the debt in exchange for protection of the Amazon (but the developed countries wanted their money back) …)
