Methods for sustainable forest management to protect Amazonia forests

Amazonia, Brazil are considered the green lungs of the Earth. In this forest, felling trees always adheres to strict environmental regulations.

Which tree is cut down is not random! At the Swiss mining company " Precious Woods " with capital contribution, people are applying sustainable forest management.

The company exploits a patch of forest, which is yellow on the map, within a year and only exploits a limited number of trees for timber and then leaves them to recover for 25 years.

" Precious Woods " is the first company to receive " green certification " from the Brazilian Government. However, only 5% of trees cut down in Amazonia are benefited from this environmental certification.

" Precious Woods " director Paul Westbrook said: " The method of sustainable forest management is economically beneficial. This has been proven by us. This method contributes to income for people living around the forest. But still keep the forest If we don't follow the mining rules, the Amazonian forest may disappear ".

However, every day, satellites tracking Amazone forest record the rate of illegal forest destruction still not decreasing.

According to Brazilian Environment Minister, in order to prevent uncontrolled logging, in addition to heavy law sanctions, sustainable forest management also needs everyone's efforts. Last year, 28,000 kilometers of forest were devastated by human bluff.
