The best way to save forests is to reduce the amount of suburban sprawl near major cities. This sprawling not only hurts our forests but also can hurt the economy within the city itself. It is also important to reduce the amount of building developments (Walmart parking lots and other large development). These are considered by many foresters to be the most damaging thing to our forests. Assuming development has not occurred nature will take her own course and is very good at naturally regenerating lush forests. As an example, even when a hundred acres of land is clearcut it will regenerate at several thousand stems to the acre within the first year. This will undergo competition and become a healthy forest down the road for all to enjoy. However, a forest can not grow so well through asphalt....

Get involved in organizations that either buy the forest land and preserve it or those that replant it.
Join People For Trees.
Go out and plant a few indigenous trees in your local forested areas. Get your friends and family to do the same.
Have your company challenge other local companies to see who can plant the most trees and then give Tshirts and some kind of prize to the company that plants the most. Call the media and tell them about the contest. Some of them will cover the story and that is free advertising for the companies involved.
Don't even try to think that the logging companies are replanting the forest. Forests are a measure of the bio-mass they contain and not the number of trees. You need to plant hundreds of seedlings for every tree you cut down to replace the CO2 processing ability of the forest and to eventually provide the same thicket of trees they cut down. If the logging companies are putting back one seedling for each tree they are cutting down the forest is losing bio-mass.
Make a goal to plant 1 million trees in your lifetime and then go find sponsors to help you finance it. That is how many trees are cut down annually in the Olympic National Rainforest in Washington state. It is also how many trees are cut down in the Amazon every two weeks.
Send emails instead of letters, pay your bills online.
Don't eat meat. Most of the rain forests are being cut down to graze cattle or grow feed for cattle.
Use Hemp paper, it is sustainable.

I recently read an article in National Geographic about the Amazon being illegaly (sp?) cut down. It's really scary. It talks about how if even the tiny bit too much of the forest is cut down, it could destroy the rest of it because the Amazon creates its own moisture that it needs to survive or somehting like that. It was really scary and i really want to do something about it, but I also have no idea how i can make the biggest difference!

Don't buy wood from endangered species of tree, reduce the use of paper because to print enough newspapers for readers take millions of trees. Also, avoid buying animal skins, can protect the forest and it's residents.

we seriously could be recycling more than we do. what happens to all those christmas trees on dec 26? why do people line their old wood furniture up at the curb? if we had better recycling programs, that would help tremendously. and have means of enforcement, like the tickets you are caught not recycling.

For every tree that is cut down, a new one must be planted. The logging industry is already doing this.

Let the lumber companies manage it.
No Joke. Every tree they cut down, they replant.

Make its protection important to the people around it.
