Stakeholders Of the RainforestBy Jessica Winch 6T

A stakeholder is a person or thing that has an interest in something e.g. the rainforest.

First of all, what is a stakeholder?

Tribes-They use it for home and shelter Eco-tour Operators-they use the rainforest as a tool for

education and for them to show people the beauty of the rainforest

Loggers- They use the rainforest as a source of income Animals-They use the rainforest as a home and for

protection Scientists- They use the rainforest as a way of discovering

things (like new plants for medication) that can benefit others

World Government-They try to protect the rainforest and stop things that help destroy it

Conservationists-They use the rainforest as a tool for education and they try to protect it

Who uses the rainforest and how do they use it?

What is their job and what do

they do?

They help spread around the seeds of eaten fruit

They eat the fruit then let the animals carry around the seeds, planting more of that species

Tribes living in the Rainforest

They tell people how the rainforest is being threatened and what they can do to help stop this

They take tour groups around and show them the rainforest and how wonderful it is

Eco-Tour Operators

Their job is to go into different rainforests and cut down trees

They cut down trees in a way that is bad and damages the rainforest

Loggers

Animals help spread around seeds for plants and animals

Animals spread around seeds which will make trees and plants grow as well as fruits that tribes in the rainforest can live off

Animals

To go into the rainforests and try to find good uses for new plant specimens

They find new plant species then use them in experiments to see if they can be used for medicine or something like that

Scientists

Help with world environmental issues Ask countries to sign agreements that say

that their particular country will stop creating AS many greenhouse gases

World Government

They try extremely hard to make people stop mining logging etc in the rainforests

They do protest and start organisations that help save the rainforest and the environment like Greenpeace

Conservationists

What are th

e rights and

responsibilities of th

ese

stakeholders?

Rights To not have their home

cut down To be able to find food

fairly easily To have water To feel protected in their

home To have clothes

Responsibilities To help distribute plants

and seeds so that species can keep growing

To only take what they need and nothing more

Tribes that live in the rainforests:

Rights Tell people off when

they’re littering Educate people Access and enter the

rainforest (under conditions)

Show tourists the beauty of the rainforests and tell them why they are unique/special

To have a job

Responsibilities Not pollute the rainforest Educate people Be role models But local goods but not

things that are made from endangered animals/are ruining the population of a certain specie

To respect the laws that try to protect the rainforest and follow them

Write laws to protect rainforests

Eco-Tour Operators

Rights To have a job To make money To be able to support

themselves and their families well

To not be punished for trying to make money

Responsibilities To log sustainably To log in

designated areas (not in illegal areas)

To not make rainforests diminish faster then they already are

Loggers

Rights To feel protected in their

home To always have food To have shelter in their

home For their home itself to

stay safe To not be poached for

their skin/fur

Responsibilities To not hunt animal

species into near extinction

To keep spreading around seeds for food purposes

To protect their families/themselves

To protect the forest from other threats

Animals

Rights To be able to explore the

rainforest (with conditions) To be allowed to observe

different species but make NO contact

To be granted permission to explore different parts of the rainforest in order to look for new plant species

Responsibilities To not move/change

around any areas of the rainforest e.g. plant fruit where animals are trying to sleep

Not to disturb the wildlife inside the rainforests

To respect how the rainforest and to not do anything to pollute it

Scientists

Rights To be allowed to request

countries to reduce greenhouse gases

To be allowed to try and pay countries to protect their rainforests

To put in the Kyoto (international agreement against greenhouse emissions) into place

Responsibilities To reduce greenhouse

gases and the burning of fossil fuels in other countries

To protect the rainforests and what’s left of them

World Governments

Rights To be able to at least

TRY to protect the rainforests

To be able to protest against non-environmental projects (things that hurt the environment and it’s rainforests) and not get in trouble for it

Responsibilities To be able to protect the

rainforest and everything in it

To not stand by and watch the environment along with it’s rainforests be destroyed

Conservationists

EffectsWhat happens if these rights and responsibilities are not

fulfilled?

What happens if their rights aren’t met?

The tribe will die out People will forget about

them

What happens if the stakeholder does not

fulfill their responsibilities?

The rainforest and the species within it will diminish faster than before because seeds of plants aren’t being distributed

Tribes that live in the rainforest

What happens if their rights aren’t met?

People will forget how they should treat/behave in the rainforest

People will forget how important rainforests are

What happens if the stakeholder does not

fulfill their responsibilities?

Rainforests will be in even worse conditions

Different species will perish faster

Eco-Tour Operators

What happens if their rights aren’t met?

They can’t help/support themselves or their families

What happens if the stakeholder does not

fulfill their responsibilities?

The rainforests will disappear faster than anticipated

Loggers

What happens if their rights aren’t met?

Animals could become more aggressive because of the stress from everything happening around them

What happens if the stakeholder does not

fulfill their responsibilities?

More animal species will die out

More plant/fruit species will die out

Animals

What happens if their rights aren’t met?

Cures for diseases that could’ve been found would’ve disappeared because scientists couldn’t explore and look for them

What happens if the stakeholder does not

fulfill their responsibilities?

Animals could start acting up because scientists have made with the animals and they’ve reacted badly

Scientists

What happens if their rights aren’t met?

Rainforests will have even MORE threats working against the existence of them!

What happens if the stakeholder does not

fulfill their responsibilities?

Rainforests won’t be protected at ALL anymore!

World Government

What happens if their rights aren’t met?

No one will be there to help the rainforests exist

What happens if the stakeholder does not

fulfill their responsibilities?

Rainforests simply WON’T exist anymore

Conservationists

There’s still hope!What can be done to prevent rights and responsibilities being ignored?

Tribes~ The government have been trying to make “peaceful” contact with tribes so that they can help them

Eco-Tour Operations~

More people can become involved and make it so that they’re (as a group) much harder to ignore and forget about

Loggers~ To dedicate SOME areas of the rainforest with trees to loggers and tell them they can’t go outside that area and if they do BIG consequences

Animals~ We could make sanctuary's which would make certain areas in the rainforest NO-GO ZONES!

Scientists~ Form an organisation/group to be set up with guides and scientists working together so that they can explore the rainforest and be trusted at the same time

World Government~

Everyone can become involved and try to influence the decisions the countries were making and make themselves very difficult to be ignored when supporting the environment

Conservationists~ Get some famous/influential people to support their cause and soon others will probably support them as well
