What are two sustainable management strategies used to protect tropical rainforests?

Two sustainable management strategies include selective logging, which allows for the careful removal of certain trees while preserving the overall forest structure, and ecotourism, which promotes responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people.
Explanation
This question tests the understanding of sustainable management strategies in tropical rainforests, focusing on specific methods that balance conservation with economic needs. It encourages students to recall and explain key concepts related to environmental management.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding selective logging
Students often think selective logging removes all trees in a forest, causing the same level of damage as clear‑cutting
