how can we use the resources of the Amazon rainforest with out harming it

    A lot of the medicines we use today are discovered from rainforests or ocean life.  Once we are able to determine the active compound that has the healing property we can synthesize these molecules in a lab, removing the need to use rainforest resources to extract it.

    For things like lumber or other wildlife in the rainforest, we need to make sure that we are not taking things out at a rate higher than they can regenerate.  Additionally, we should take steps to replace what is being taken, ie reforest as we deforest.
