Reforestation in Amazon rain forest. Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve dwellers manage Brazil nut tree growth ( saplings ). State: Acre, Brazil. Natural resources generating income for rain forest people. An extractive reserve is an area of land, generally state-owned where access and use rights, including natural resource extraction, are allocated to local groups or communities. Extractive preserves limit deforestation both by the local residents preventing deforestation within their reserve, and by acting as a buffer zone that keeps ranching and extractive industry out of the forests beyond.
