  1. Using the rainforest? Why do you want to use it? Leave it alone. That is the best thing.

  2. The only way to sustain something is to not touch it in the first place.If however you take away trees then you have to replace them to sustain them.Taking into account the slow rate of growth some trees have, you would have to begin planting trees before you started chopping to sustain a mature forest.

  3. by harvesting the naturally occurring crops in the rainforest.

    things like cashews brazil nuts and others grow naturally, and some of the products that can be harvested in a “natural” environment don’t grow as well when “farmed”, so there is less damage than cutting down the rainforest for “regular” agriculture.
