We can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by reducing the areas of forest removed and trees cut down. This can be done by:|preventing the conversion of forests to another land use type (eg. proper land use planning of forest areas to minimise forest clearance instead of completely clearing the forest to establish cash crop plantations or pasture land);|applying less destructive timber harvesting techniques (eg. select only suitable trees to harvest and ensure minimum environmental disturbance when putting in logging roads and tracks);|practising farming systems that minimise the removal of trees (eg. apply agroforestry farming systems);|conserving forests that are under threat of being removed.
