<strong>Worksheet</strong> 17: Sky Rainforest Rescue Sky and WWF are working with farmers to help improve the quality of their existing soil so they do not need to cut down more trees. Experts are helping farmers to plan how they can use their land so they can grow more food and make more money without clearing forests for new land. The trees and plants of the Amazon hold many nutrients. But without them, the soil becomes very poor. Farmers cut and burn forest to fertilize the soil. But it soon becomes degraded and they need to burn down more forest so they have fresh land to grow on. Many small scale farmers do not officially own their land so they are worried about losing it. Cutting forest and growing crops is seen by some as a way to make sure no one can take the land away. Sky and WWF are working with the local government in a state called Acre in Brazil to help small land owners manage their land without cutting forest. In return they are prioritised to receive official ownership of their land. Huge amounts of rainforest have been cleared to make space for cattle pasture. Sky and WWF are helping to make sure that there are rules to make cattle ranching less destructive to the rainforest. The rubber prices have dropped meaning many of the people who used to harvest rubber from the trees can no longer make a living this way. Sky and WWF have set up rubber processing technology which helps rubber tappers to create a more valuable and better quality product so they can continue to harvest rubber – a sustainable industry. Many people do not realize how important the trees in the Amazon are for the health of the local environment and the world. Sky and WWF are working with teachers to add learning about the environment to lessons in the project area of Acre state, Brazil. The construction of roads and dams is important to bring essential services to people. But if it’s not done properly, it can have devastating impacts for people, the rainforest and the animals that live there. Sky and WWF are funding important work with governments and international bodies to improve the planning of roads and dams in the Amazon in order to minimise damage to the environment and people’s lives. Illegal and unsustainable fishing in the Amazon is threatening some important species of fish. Sky and WWF are working with local people in the Amazon to monitor and sustainably manage fish populations. This way there is enough fish in the lakes that people can harvest to sell or eat.
