As you can see it is clear that
there is a great conflict between maintaining the
natural environment of the Amazon TRF and allowing for
human invention. In the 1970s and 1980s, some areas of
the Amazon were exploited. However, the Brazilian
government is now keen to make changes. In 1992 they
held a World Earth Summit
and in 1995 embarked on plans to help conserve the Amazon TRF. Wildlife parks have now been set up and moves are being taken to reduce rainforest destruction. Also, in some parts of the Amazon the government has created extraction reserves, where people who live in the rainforest use it in a way that protects it long-term. This also provides these people with a living. Some of these reserves have legal protection from destruction by loggers, ranchers and soya farmers. Brazil is now very keen to protect this valuable resource.
