There are several solutions to rampant forest destruction and resulting climate change. When combined, they have the power to save the remaining Paradise Forests.

1) Protection under law

Urgent protection for the Paradise Forests is needed now. International governments must legislate to save the forest from large-scale illegal logging by greedy foreign companies.

2) Consumer action

Illegally logged timber is sold around the world every day as furniture, flooring and other timber products. The solution is simple. Don’t buy ancient forest timber products.

3) Ecoforestry

In the Paradise Forests, something remarkable is happening. Community landowners are taking back their forest and creating a viable industry from ecologically sustainable forest use. It's called ecoforestry.

4) Boundary marking

Boundary marking means defining boundaries. In the Paradise Forests, the process of demarcating territory officially recognises land that is inhabited or used by its traditional owners. It guarantees them the right to keep invaders off their land and use it as they wish. It also gives them effective power over the natural resources found on this land. More info
