why is it very difficult to protect tropical rain forests?

Question

i've been trying to protect them

Answer 1

it's hard to protect because majority of the rainforest that now exists are located in 3rd and 2nd world countries and because they are poor, the lumber company clear cuts everything to make profit

Answer 2

A number of reasons; South American governments reluctant to do much to enforce protection rules; the sheers size of the forests and thus the difficulty in protecting them; pressure from farmers to open up more land for agriculture.

Answer 3

Cattle. A lot of the rainforests is located in the amazon basin. To raise cattle for huge hamburger corporations in the US, trees are cut down to provide grazing fields. As mentioned above, profit is more important than environmental considerations.

Answer 4

politics, nobody cares, local economies, poachers, lumber, too expensive, etc..
