Rainforest Conservation

Question 1

Maya buys a bar of milk chocolate that has a Rainforest Alliance seal on the package. Which statement best explains what the seal means and how it helps protect rainforests?

Accepted Answer

It tells Maya that the cocoa was grown using farming rules that keep forest trees standing, protect wildlife, and give farmers a fair income, which reduces the need to clear more rainforest.

Answer

It means the chocolate company paid a small fee for the seal, but the cocoa can still be grown by cutting down trees.

Answer

It indicates that all the cocoa comes from farms located inside a national park, so no trees are ever cut there.

Answer

It shows the chocolate is made from 100% organic ingredients, which automatically stops rainforest loss.

Question 2

A student is making a poster about how people can keep a rainforest safe. She wants to list three ways that really work. Which three should she write down?

Create a national park, plant new trees, and use a Rainforest Alliance label on products.

Answer

Answer

Give forest land to a mining company, plant crops, and certify wood with FSC.

Answer

Question 3

Julian learned that a forest area belonging to the Kanu tribe has been officially recognized as their indigenous territory. Which statement best explains why this helps keep the forest from being cut down?

Accepted Answer

Because the tribe’s legal right to the land lets them stop outsiders from logging, and their traditional knowledge helps them manage the forest sustainably.

Answer

Because the government will send park rangers to the area, treating every tribal land like a national park.

Answer

Because the tribe simply bans all people from entering the forest, so no one can ever cut any trees.

Answer

Because the land has no valuable minerals, so no one wants to exploit it, no matter who owns it.
