The sustainability of rainforests

A significant problem facing regions such as Malaysia and Indonesia, where much of these country’s land is forested, is that, in themsleves, forests are financially unproductive until you cut them down. If we want to save forest-dwelling species (as well as protect a vital natural resource in our fight against global warming), we need to find a way of enabling the people who live in around forests to earn a decent living without destroying essential natural habitat.
