The reading states that the international forest protection fund is a good approach towards protecting the forests in developing countries and gives three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that the suggestions made in the article are flawed and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the article claims that International forest protection fund can be used to protect forest agriculture. The funds distributed to the government and land owners will resist their intrusion by building industries in the forest area. However, the professor refutes this by stating that agriculture is itself destructive for the forest ecosystem. He explains that the farmers use harmful pesticides and fertilizers to increase the harvest yield. Consequently, this practice has detrimental effects on the environment by generating run off waste and water pollution. Therefore, promoting agriculture is not a good idea to save the forests from deforestation.
Second, the reading avers that the funds can be used to develop economies of the forest tribal communities. As a result, it will aid them to seek education and health services and prevent them from performing destructive forest practices to make their living. The lecturer rebuts this argument and says that the idea of paying stipend to the forest villagers is inadequate. He says that the funded money is dispersed to the owners of the forest, which is the government and not the residents. Thus, the complete fund is unlikely to reach in the hands of the forest dwellers for its given anticipated use.
Finally, the article posits that funding the government and the people can be helpful to prevent deforestation and establish forest areas with biodiversity. Conversely, the professor explains that the government may not use these funds appropriately to protect forests and develop biodiversity. Instead, people might plant more trees of commercial purposes. In such a scenario, this measure will not fulfil the goal of the forest protection fund.
