What is aquaculture?

• Fish farming

• Fish catching

• Fish hunting

Why is the aquaculture industry booming?

• Due to it's low costs

• Due to it's simplicity

• Due to it's overfishing

compared to clear cutting, selective cutting has less ENVIRONMENTAL impact resulting in...

• MORE biodiversity

• MORE paper being produced

• LESS deforestation of an area

a negative ENVIRONMENTAL impact of fire suppression policy is...

• criminalization of indigenous practices
