Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encouraging migration to undisturbed tropical forests would actually increase the destruction and degradation of these important ecosystems. The other options, such as certifying sustainably grown timber, establishing sustainable agriculture and forestry strategies, subsidizing only sustainable-use forestry, and reducing poverty, are all ways to promote the long-term health and conservation of tropical forests.
