Ecosystem Management: Tropical Rainforests

The Amazon rainforest, a vital ecosystem, faces threats from deforestation due to human activities. Effective management strategies like aforestation, agroforestry, and selective logging can mitigate these impacts. International programs and local laws aim to protect rainforests, but challenges remain. Ecotourism offers a sustainable economic alternative. Overall, managing tropical rainforests is crucial for global ecological health, yet complex political and social issues hinder long-term solutions.
