> What will they gain/ lose if the forests become protected areas? If forests become protected areas, animals will be able to re-grow their population and live in peace, without having to move from place to place, due to loggers chopping down their homes. Loggers would have a different opinion if forests became protected areas. They would be left without a job, which means they would not have an income and not be able to support their families financially. But if it means saving the destruction of the forests and animals life's it is worth making the forests protected areas.
 * How do the different groups use the forest? The forest is used in many different ways by lots of different groups of people and animals, which include people such as indigenous people, factories, businesses and illegal loggers.While the forest is home for some people, it is a factory for others like loggers.These company's are chopping down forests which is destroying homes and habitats for indigenous people and animals. Although they are just trying to make living for themselves they are not allowing others to live a normal life, forcing local's to move from place to place and killing of animals. Illegal loggers are slowly destroying the habitat killing of lots of animals. Even though we do need products which require chopping down trees, there are still ways to slow down the destruction of forests or even put a stop to all logging.
 * What do they gain from the forest? They gain natural resources such as, food (fruits and meats), natural oils and even wood. They also find it a source of healthy life, being in the wild, and not being in a city and other towns. The animals find it peaceful and pleasant, they also like how there is not many humans that come through there area as well. The community gains houses and other buildings for the town or city and they also gain resources such as paper, wooden toys and other wooden materials.
 * Are forests worth more to them standing or cleared? Forests are worth more standing although the wood can be used for houses and other buildings. They are defenitely needed standing for animals and oxygen. If we didn't have forests then there would be no animals and no life because there would be no oxygen that could be breathed in. For humans it is important for us to do both aspects of this because we need trees for both things just as importantly. For trees we need oxygen to live our lives, and we also need them for shelter and resources.
