Logging and replanting: This method allows the forest to recover because the younger trees gain more space and sunlight to grow. Planned and controlled logging ensures that for every tree logged another is planted. Ecotourism: This encourages sustainable tourism that creates jobs for local people whilst ensuring that the money generated is used to protect and conserve the tropical rainforest for future generations to enjoy. Education: It is important that local people, businesses and politicians understand the true value of the tropical rainforest, they will then be more likely to protect it. International agreements: Agreements to protect tropical rainforests have been made between different countries through debt-for -nature swaps. This is when a country cancels part of the debt if an agreement is made to ensure the conservation of its tropical rainforests.
