Beyond Protection Programs
Rainforest protection programs such
as Conservation International and the Rainforest Alliance have done astounding
work to provide the rainforests with a chance for survival.
Many of these programs have introduced reporters first hand to deforestation
sites in an attempt to spread knowledge pertaining to the subject matter.
Individual corporations such as Starbucks Coffee have joined these protection
programs and have implemented environmental methods into their coffee bean
production.
Yet even with all these steps towards
helpful methods being taken, the problem continues in the sense that the
extent to which the world’s population is aware of and is educated on the
significance of the rainforest and the destruction that is taking place
is very limited. The survey given to Starbucks showed that very few
people, including employees, had been even slightly aware of Starbucks
collaboration to with C.I. to protect the rainforest. It is therefore
necessary that the global community works together on an international
level to beat the growing problems. One area of increased success
is that of N.G.O’s who have the ability to go out and spread knowledge
on their own accord and on an worldwide scale. Another is the U.N.
The United Nations embodies 191 member states of the world and therefore
serves as a potential success in regards to spreading the concern relating
to issues such as rainforest preservation on a global scale so that all
people’s may become aware!
