How might we save the forests of the world?

by stopping DEFORESTATION and by doing AFFROESTATION..

It's not because of human activity that they're disappearing, it's because of human poverty. When you're too poor to care about anything but getting by, you shouldn't really be to blame. The solution is in abolishing poverty in regions with large forests. One easy way to do this is with carbon credits, Brazil could become a first world country by selling it's carbon credits I'm sure.

By not buying wood based products. Buying land that is forested and preserving it. Or as "V" would say, Shutting down timder activities by any means posible, legaly or not. Allso good education helps to realize the need to preserve and protect. I'm sure many products that are made of wood can be made of other materials that are man made.

the only way we can stop it is if we can convince the government to stop destroying the rain forest and using the land that they chop down the trees from for farm land and then you know what?!! They dont even use the trees for ANYTHING!!! THEY ALSO DONT PLANT ANYMORE TREES TO REPLACE THE ONES THEY CUT DOWN "BECAUSE IT WOULD USE UP THE LAND THAT THEY COULD USE FOR FARMING"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well for one thing, we could definitely stop cutting down the rainforests, and every other tree. More companies could replace more trees after they cut. Or we could somehow stop all the endangered-animal-wearing, Hummer-driving, don't-give-a-blank-about the world people by making them realize they're killing our planet. And maybe replacing paper and other wood products with some sort of synthetic material.
