Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Banning debt-for-nature swaps is not an approach to protect tropical forests. The other choices are all strategies that can help protect tropical forests. Slowing population growth can reduce the need for land conversion. Reducing poverty can help reduce reliance on logging and other destructive activities. Teaching sustainable small-scale agriculture can help maintain soil health and prevent deforestation. Reforming timber-cutting regulations can help prevent illegal and unsustainable logging practices.
