Can Sustainable Management Save Tropical Forest A: List the major ideas, concepts or key points- point by point

Sustainability proves surprisingly problematic in the quest to reconcile conservation with the production of tropical timber Destruction of tropical rain forest is a constant source of distress. Sustainability is a poor guide to the environmental harm caused by timber operations. Logging that is unsustainable is, incapable of maintaining production of the desired species indefinitely. Sustainable logging does not necessarily guarantee a low environmental toll. Sustain the yield of wood has become a central efforts to preserve tropical forests. Secondary species increase trees that are harvested unsustainably. large subsidies are needed to attract the necessary investment. Guatemala hefty cut in profits that companies forest sustainably pressure logging industry. The economy for sustainable forest management often fails. Management of tropical forests for sustainable timber is becoming a widespread phenomenon. Environmentalists also need to re- member that many threats to tropical forests would continue even if sustain- able management were to become widely adopted. B: Summarize the AUTHORs main point or idea- at LEAST 1-2 paragraphs Destruction of tropical rain forest is a constant source of distress. Deforestation in the tropics continues relentlessly and on a vast scale. Regulated timber production as a compromise between strict preservation and uncontrolled exploitation. Sustainable management requires both restraint in cutting trees and investment in replacing them, this can be a pragmatic scheme. Sustainable management requires both restraint in cutting trees and investment in replacing them. Uncontrolled logging would invariably obliterate the older stands, where nearly all trees would be of a market- able size. Sustain the production of mahogany could disturb so much forest that the overall conservation objectives would surely be compromised. Less than one eighth of 1 percent of the worlds tropical production forests were operating on a sustained-tiled basis as of the late 1980s. Environmentalists also need to remember that many threats to tropical forests would continue
even if sustain- able management were to become widely adopted.

C: Write a reaction paragraph to the article stating your own thoughts on the topic, using specific citations from the article to support your views People don't understand. Humans should stop worrying about the economy for a day and start thinking about what could happened if there wasn't more trees. if we run out of natural resources. There would be a big impact in the environment if we don't do anything. There would be more nature, more rain forest. It was impacting, that people are choosing an unstable way of logging and chopping down trees because they get more money. They just do things for the money, and thats frustrated. It makes me mad, but the prices of thing: paper, wood, and other stuff are cheaper. If we want to keep living this way, thats an option. But also, if we want to get rid off the biodiversity thats a bigger cause of what they are doing.

What? Sustainable changes are not wanted are arent being applied. The Forest in suffering, its biodiversity and environment is being affected. Theres less and less each year. What If? We had more money, and we were able to understand the consequences of what could happened it we dont do anything. There would be bigger change, and there would be more forest and biodiversity,

Says Who? RICHARD E. RICE, RAYMOND E. GULLISON and JOHN W. REID, doctorate in natural resources from the University of Michigan. What does it remains you of? Which species to save, because in this case we know and have some solution, but because of the budged we dont want them to be applied.
